2008 Mini Cooper 1.6 Manual 3-door

Description

So, I’ve had this 2008 Mini Cooper for a few years now – it’s a real little driver, still starts up fine and runs smooth. I’ve been using it regularly, so it’s not a show car, just a practical little thing I’ve kept going.

It’s got a 1.6 petrol engine, manual gearbox, and all the good bits: start/stop function, rear and front parking sensors, twin panoramic sunroofs (both work properly), and a sport exhaust. The CD player’s still there too. It’s been properly MOT'd, last one in February – so it’s still safe and legal.

The mileage is around 92,000, which isn’t bad for a Mini. I’ve kept it well-maintained, and it’s been a reliable daily driver.

That said, it’s not perfect. The bodywork has a bit of sun damage – some areas are peeled or faded, especially in the sun-exposed bits. The dash LCD screen gets a bit washed out in strong light, so it’s not as bright as it used to be. And the tyres? They’re fine enough, but I’ll need to replace them soon – they’re a bit low now.

I’ve been totally honest about it – all the good stuff and the bits that need a bit of work. Photos show it clearly. If you’re looking for a reliable, low-maintenance little car that’s actually been used, this might be worth a look.

Price is £1,080 – I’m not going to push it, just open to sensible offers or swaps if you’ve got something you’d like to trade. I’m based in Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, so no long drives needed.
