We recently sold our clubman Cooper D. It was on 150,000 miles and was as tight as a drum. Didn’t spend a penny on it (other than normal oil/filter change) and sold it for £700 more than we paid for it 2 years ago. One of the best cars we’ve had. Maybe we were lucky

Always loved the Clubman. Happy memories of the 1970s impossibly small one with a dodgy orangey ish colour. Think it’s largely style over function, but if you don’t need the back seats the van back end is really useful. And racing green. Should have added another £500 just for that!

Hours spent cleaning it, replacing rotted rubber strips, fixing 2 oil leaks plus other issues. £1k spent but I've developed a deep attachment 🙄. Looks like a baby next to my Jeep Wrangler Overland 😂.

I’ve been waiting ages for you to do a Mini Video. I always swore I’d never sell Minis and several years on 80% of what I sell is Mini - just late 2010 Petrol models onwards - not the Cooper S however. Buying them right is essential and a neglected one is a no go unless it’s for nothing, I’m fortunate enough to get everything done in house apart from mot and paint. They are a recon nightmare, I’ve 3 good gearboxes on the shelf ready to go, plus a few spares cars tucked out the back 😅 I’m amazed how popular the product is and we have people drive hundreds of miles for them just because of spec etc. You just have make sure all the failure points are good before advertising I’ve had 5 go out since September the 1st and all with very respectable profits, I can’t buy enough of them - bare me in mind if you have any you want to trade 😀 As always great video !

I traded my last car in immediately after its MOT, I’d been looking for an upgrade for months and the MOT fell while I was looking - then found exactly what I wanted a week later. Annoying thing is - it stayed off the road, presumably within the trade, for 11 months, so it was due again anyway by the time it went back on the road 😂

Good to see that you are choosing to buy cars that look a good deal and prove to all your fans, just how careful they should be when buying.

Gear missing reminded me of my second car, Austin maxi. Had no first gear but it was a well known fault then. Never got it repaired as could set off in second easily. Bought it at and auction for £150. ran it for 9 years. Always serviced etc, just the gearbox it didn't have fixed. Still got £100 when I sold it. Well done on saving another car from the scrap heap.

My late wife's daily 2009 Mini Cooper 1.6 Convertible - never to be sold - was promoted to this one's daily driver last year, for reasons. I was treating her as a second, day-off car. Bought in 2015 - and 100% reliable. Basically, you reap what you sow. Our example has never needed anything but comestibles. Regularly serviced, respected, maintained, cared for and loved. The rule was, and is, roof down, no matter the season. Maybe we were lucky. I never use a heat gun to rejuvenate black plastics. Yes, they look superb, but drawing the oils out makes them more brittle.

I wouldn't have rebuilt this gearbox but each to their own! I was a fairly similar situation with a similar Cooper 1.6 and ended up putting a second hand low mileage gearbox in, £120 for the box with new oil and £120 for a new clutch. Drove beautifully! These are huge liabilities to sell though, this will probably come back with some sort of oil burning, timing chain or head gasket issue

Most of the plastic restorers on the market are just gels or sprays that bring the colour back for a short while and require topping up after a few washes. Mini trim is awful (I speak from experience having had a number of them) and you need a trim dye for a bit more of a permanent solution. There is a product called polytrol that I’ve not used myself but seen it reviewed and it appears very effective.

Hi Matt, I traded my last car in a week after the MOT. It wasn't for shady reasons, it needed two rear suspension bushes and had a couple of buttock-clenching drives in it where it felt like the rear end was doing it's own thing (which it was!) before I got them replaced. I didn't feel comfortable driving it after that. Sometimes you just fall out of love with a car I think! I've always been a 'replace whatever needs doing' bloke when I take my car to the mechanic but that just got overlooked I think and it ruined it for me. 6 years ownership and 50000 miles from new, haven't regretted losing it at all. Sometimes you just don't want it anymore 👍

Another Friday treat for us. As a thank you I played the ads👍. My guess is the gearbox problem happened after getting its mot. That ticket had a few advisories and looking at the cars condition the last owner didn’t have the money to spend on it. So now that person has got a new car and most likely through finance so again can not afford to look after the new one. The cycle continues.... white faced Explorer 2 Matt? Wonderful transformation. ‘Massively overspent’ and ‘mini valet’ are Matts catchphrases needed on car stickers or tees.

I bought a MCS recently for my daughter to learn in. 2007 80k miles. So far in two months I have done the following preventative and required maintenance on the woeful PSA N14. 1. Uprated timing chain and guides 2. PCV and valve cover replacement 3. Crankcase breather 4. 4 x new tyres Hankook Ventus 5. Oil filter housing (it was leaking) 6. New fog lights 7. Light refurb 8. Boot button rubber replacement 9. Coil packs and plugs 10. New parcel shelf 11. Various sensors 12. New windscreen cowls 13. New wipers 14. Front discs and pads 15. AC regas 16. Pollen and air filters, plus two oil changes. Basically I've spent the same repairing the car as I paid for it! Labour of love these things, it now drives lovely!

oohhhh Matt.... I have a Clubman (Facelift 2016 model) have driven it on Swedish roads in winter... it has never failed me... How can you hate a Mini...? That would be like me saying I hate Range Rovers... 😜 Thanks again for a great review mate

F54 is much better. BMW engines instead of the Peugout/BMW Prince engines.

Because they lunch their engines you can pick up an eBay gear box for £100 Matt. This could have helped to pay for several fill ups on the Rangie! The series 3 F56 seems way better designed and built. Great episode.

I just bought one of these. Auto Cooper. Been looking for one for a while. It broke down the day after I bought it .... kinda killed the buzz of finally finding one with great spec. They're a fun, quirky car for sure.

At least that PSA engine is more reliable than the early Mini units. Those wire dipsticks are an absolute nightmare to use and indeed the build quality is B&M level rather than Selfridges for sure. But you hit the nail on the head that they are definitely style over substance cars. And that second gear has definitely left the chat. Good video as always

Those PSA Prince engines are made of Chocolate. Bitter experience after 12 months with a 208 GTI.

Great video Matt, I think the keys charge in the ignition but if sat in a drawer unused for too long will forget the car. I’m sure you can reprogramme them, good luck with the sale

As long as the spare key IS for that car it should work once charged, those keys can’t be recoded to a different car (found this out on ours when our 08 Cooper D only came with one key)

Have a 2010 for the last 6 yrs, been bullet proof. FYI there’s a second glovebox above the lower one, just push the panel. That’s where I thought the paperwork would be 😊

there's a hidden compartment on passenger side dash if you push the grey section - sometimes people put docs in there.
