My son picked up up a R50 auto recently for peanuts that the owner was convinced the the gearbox was broken. After resetting the adaptions car is working perfectly and now years ticket on car, what a bargain. For a 2002 vehicle I have never seen such a clean car underneath. |

You're sure you want one of these? These cars aren't know for their reliability. Some versions are assembled over here in the Netherlands with production stagnating for good reasons... |

Nice car, I hope Chris enjoys her ‘mini adventure’ (see what I did there) Petrol is definitely the way to go. As much as we disliked the issues with the Paceman it was all diesel related. A petrol clubman was second choice as a replacement for the MG

I wouldn’t worry, Brian has been repairing Rovers for long enough, a new mini can’t be worse than that!

From the UK's leading consumer magazine. Perhaps I'm biased as I have three (R50,R56,F56) in the family and not one of them has let anyone down even the oldest one (2002) model has many years left on it. Last edited by Lovel; 29th August 2019 at 16:56.. |

Thanks for boosting our economy, no complaints here! There just was a recall for timing chains wearing out way too fast and there are many known electrical problems. The latter aren't much of a problem though and maybe you've been lucky. |

My family model years cars 2002, 2007, 2019 so a fair sample I would say. However I assume the consumer magazine has a much larger sample to give the facts on the high reliability rather than my statistically low number of 3 sample rate or your hearsay. |
