R53 Mini Cooper S with JCW kit
I'm looking at a MCS with JCW kit dealer installed when new, it has 56K on it and looks to be in very good shape, PO had a PPI done before buying and has fix the few issues that showed up then.
The Power steering was replaced under recall. The body is clean, no sign of rust, has new water pump, radiator, and brakes. Any heads up or pointers... I plan to use it to help keep miles off of my Alfa Giulia lease. |

just keep a eye out for broken motor mounts
worn out control arm bushings and put a rear sway bar in it, they are great cars, i have over 100k on my highly modified car and its been very reliable and fun.

What year R53? I highly recommend you review this buyers guide: MINI R50/R53 Buyers Guide - MotoringFile. You can also look at our R53 tech articles for common issues/repairs.
