Mini Cooper. December 2015. 1500cc, 6 speeder. 178,099 MILES. MOT'd until December 15th. Road tax is £20 a year. I'm the fourth keeper from new. Factory alloy wheels, air conditioning, half leather seats, heated seats, remote central locking, keyless go, electric windows, electric mirrors, factory sat nav, stereo. Despite the dramatic mileage it really doesn't look like a 178,000 mile car. It's in good condition generally as you can see. The car runs and drives but the alternator and the alternator belt have both broken. So the battery doesn't charge. The multimedia digital display screen has also broken. See the pictures (I think it's the pixels). But these screens are available on E Bay. I've seen one for £179 (see picture). So this is very much a project car. I'm in Westbury, Wiltshire. The car has to go. I'm open to any offers at all. Just text or WhatsApp me. You can even call me in the old fashioned way.

I'm only selling this car because I lost my job and can't service and pay for it right now. It finished its MOT 30 days ago, and it's been sitting for that long. It's only started once a week. The car is fully functional! It just doesn't have a valid MOT. I have new front and rear brake pads (I suspect they might need changing),5 litres of oil and a filter. I'm also throwing in some extras. I have two keys, both slightly chewed up by my dogs, who also ate the V5, so I don't have that either. The cost is £25 for a new one.
