98 online MOT checks in a day!!

Post by Pondrew » Tue Apr 11, 2023 7:55 pm

Yep, I did online MOT checks on 98 Minis today. Some were low milers, some were average, a couple were high. They were all cars between 2008 and 2012.
Every one, bar none, was shite! :headbang:
Dealers or private, made no difference. Even the prices were very similar.
The amount of people who think that an oil change every 4 years is a full service history is shocking!
I have come to the conclusion that I need to stop looking for a 'good one' and just look for a 'less shite one'.

One thing, though, I am learning what the common issues are with the new type Mini. :|

A few even had subframe rot; looks like BMW did a good job of replicating the classic Mini after all. :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
