2024 Mini Cooper Sport Auto – Front and Side Damage, Starts and Drives, Repairable

Description

So, I’ve got a 2024 Mini Cooper Sport auto here — 24 reg, front and side damage. It starts and runs, which is good news if you're looking for something that’s not completely dead. It’s been through an insurance claim, so it’s a salvage vehicle, and the damage is repairable.

I’m not saying it’s perfect — it’s not a showroom car, and I don’t expect it to be. The description I give here is just a quick run-down. You’ll need to actually see it to get a real sense of what’s going on. I’d definitely recommend bringing your own mechanic or engineer to check it out — there’s no warranty, and everything’s sold as seen.

It’s currently at a place in Shepshed, Charnwood, and if you’re coming over, just give me a call. I’m Shaun or Dave — phone numbers are on the list. Office hours are 9am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, and Sunday appointments only.

We’re a small operation that’s been dealing in salvage cars for a while. Most of our stock comes straight from insurers, so we’ve got a good mix of vehicles with decent value. We don’t offer guarantees — nothing about the engine, gearbox, or interior parts is guaranteed. Things like spare wheels, sat nav maps, or charging plugs might not be there, and the mileage or actual condition could vary.

If you're thinking of buying, make sure to do your own HPI check — some of these cars might show clear at the time of check, but they’ll eventually appear on HPI. Also, the vehicle can’t legally be driven on public roads until it’s fully repaired and meets all safety standards. If it has a MOT, that doesn’t mean it’s safe — it might have been tested before the damage happened.

If you’re not collecting it by the agreed date, we’re free to keep the deposit and sell it elsewhere. And yeah, if you’re picking it up, we recommend a recovery truck — don’t try to drive it yourself.

I accept bank transfers, debit cards, and cash — just be aware that cash payments come with a 2% handling fee. Any deposit you pay is non-refundable.

All the details, like registration or VIN, can be pulled up if you want.

Just a quick note — the info from eBay or Gumtree might not be 100% accurate. I’ve seen that happen before, so don’t rely on that.

If you’re interested, drop me a line. I’m happy to go over it properly when you’re ready.

— This one’s got a bit of history, but it’s still running. If you’re looking for something affordable and not too far from the ground, it might be worth a look.
