MINI Approach

Smartly sourced. Properly checked. Honestly sold.

MINIs, especially the 2000–2015 era for first time drivers are great. But we also know their quirks, their weak spots, and how easily a great-looking car can become an expensive mistake. That’s why we take a different approach.

First-Time Buyer or Trade Dealer?

We specialise in properly sorted MINIs, whether it’s your first car, a modern classic, or you’re a dealer looking for clean, trade-ready stock. Every MINI we list is inspected, driven, and documented. No guesswork, no auction polish jobs — just honest cars, honestly sold.

Private Buyers

Looking for a reliable, affordable MINI that won’t bite back?

We get it. A cheap MINI can become an expensive mistake fast. That’s why we take a different approach. Before we list a car, we check (and often fix) the most common issues — from timing chain noise to oil leaks and electrical gremlins.

We focus on MINIs that are ideal for first-time drivers or those looking for a fun, stylish modern classic. You’ll know exactly what’s been done, what to expect, and whether it’s the right car for you.

No jargon. No pressure. Just honest advice and properly sorted MINIs.

Trade Buyers / Dealers

Buy or sell MINIs? Let’s keep it clean, quick, and margin-smart.

Whether you’re sourcing MINIs for your forecourt, AutoTrader listings, or social feeds - or you’ve got cars to move - I work with selected trade contacts on both sides of the deal.

We supply ready-to-retail MINIs that are:

  • Clean and well-presented, with known weak spots addressed

  • Private-sourced or lightly auctioned, with full prep notes

  • Priced with margin baked in — no mystery lights, no lipstick jobs

We also buy directly from traders, restorers, and independent sellers - fair offers, no tyre-kicking, no wasted time.

We’re currently working with selected trade contacts on a per-drop basis. If you’d like to preview future drops, have something to sell or want to request something specific, get in touch here.

Where our MINIs come from

Some cars we buy directly from private owners, others come from trusted trade contacts or auctions. But here’s the difference: we don’t list anything until we’ve personally inspected, test-driven and vetted.

No auction polish jobs. No mystery oil leaks. No “sold as seen” surprises, or ’essential checks’ missed!

What we check (and often fix)

Before we list a MINI, we typically check or address:

  • Timing chain noise (esp. on N14 engines)

  • PCV & valve cover condition

  • Turbo oil feed & return lines

  • Thermostat housing and coolant leaks

  • Carbon build-up, oil consumption, misfires

  • Service history gaps and common MOT fails

We also photograph cars honestly, flaws included, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Why we do it this way

Because we know what it’s like to fall for a car and regret it later.

And because MINIs, when properly sorted, are still one of the best small cars ever made.

Whether it’s your first proper car or your fifth project, we want you to enjoy the experience, not be fixing it every weekend (unless that’s your thing).
