Description

My partner's 2010 MINI Cooper D is available for sale as spares or repair due to a suspected issue with the clutch release bearing or flywheel. The engine runs fine, and a video demonstrating this can be accessed below. The car has covered just over 105k miles, and the MOT is due in Feb 2024.
The car is in very good condition, as shown in the photos after a recent detail, with only a few age-related marks, but overall, it is above average for its age and mileage. We have taken good care of the car, and it benefits from a comprehensive service history, as seen in the photos, including recent full service and regular oil and fuel filter changes.
During a brief test drive with a mechanic, they suggested the issue most likely lies with the clutch release bearing or flywheel. It should be a relatively cheap and simple fix for someone with the time, tools, and knowledge.
The car will move under its own power but requires trailering away.
Good points:
Comprehensive FSH, mostly main dealer, with original service booklet, manual, etc.
Careful lady owner for the past 4 years and only 2 previous owners before this.
Good bodywork for its age.
Two working original keys.
Decent tires with a good amount of tread left.
Equipped with "salt and pepper" and "chilli" packs, including optional extras like climate control, Bluetooth calling, aux in audio, tinted rear windows, etc.
£20 a year road tax.
Only ever run on Shell V Power Diesel.
HPI clear.
Bad points (aside from the clutch issue):
Alloys would benefit from a refurb.
Air conditioning needs re-gassing.
Start-stop feature doesn't work.
Aside from the mentioned clutch issue, the car has been great during my ownership. A quick marketplace search suggests its value around £3.5-4k when fully working, but I don't have the time or need to get it fixed.
Please note that this is a spares or repair sale, and the car is SOLD AS SEEN. No liability is accepted if the problem is not clutch-related. Any inspection is welcome.
Payment by bank transfer ONLY on collection. No more than 2 people to view at any one time.
The car is currently declared SORN, and the mileage will not rise. As mentioned, the car will move under its own power but needs to be trailered away. It is located near J39 of the M1 in Wakefield.
