If it's all intact after nearly 20 years of service, it'll either have been fixed already or it'll have been one of the good ones. Everything has a risk at that age but it won't be to do with issues from the factory.

The SRi models were quick enough cars.

I have a mate with a few of the “new” minis. He told me , something like this; Early ones had a good 1.6 engine but a midland box which isn’t much use. Then there’s a period the midland box was replaced by a getrag box and you still had the good engine. I think about 2004 this happened. Then the good engine was replaced. Not sure when .

So looks like there’s a sweet period with good box and engine. I guess if you’re thinking of getting one a bit of research would be worthwhile.

That's pretty much the summary. Between 04 and 07 you have decent little car. In 07 the 1.6 got replaced with 1.4. Same one as Peugeot 207 after 08. On demand coolant and oil pumps on some of them, some of the valve seats fall out, the chains stretch, heads crack, vanos give trouble, valvetronic issues etc.
Responsive little engine while it works but it's like opening a can of worms when something goes wrong.
I'm sure it got all rectified couple years after, but 07 is the newest one I ever had, so have had no experience with newer ones.

God awful car, 0-100 in about a minute, brother had one and had issues with gearbox and xenon lights. It had low mileage and was well looked after. Got rid of it after that.

Spotless 2002 Accord. Too bad I'm not in a marked for bangernomics.
I'd take that in a heartbeat. Interior is like brand new. Apart from being very hard to insure, anything else that could be wrong? Looks very well minded.

Jaysus, that Accord has been up for offers more often than Katie Price.

I'd say its a clean enough car under the dirt, original floor mats are a good sign after 200k miles. I'd love this

Wilfuler. · 30-12-2019 05:10PM

I'd there anyway of checking the mileage' on these cars

Duke O Smiley · 30-12-2019 05:16PM

Old NCT certs if they are present, or service history.

Otherwise, not really

That’s about all they’re worth to be honest, especially in bog spec like that one.

bazz26 · 30-12-2019 05:46PM

Manual with cloth interior doesn't help it either. If you could tidy up the exterior and find a leather interior, it would spruce it up.

Yep. If that was up for 800/900 I’d have bought it already. Pity.

Good car, not going to give you thrills for power but a good work horse.

Very cheap too. If I had the money I'd buy it as I have the hatch and its way too small.

This guy has a lot of cars for sale on Donedeal but the Megane is down as from a "Private Seller". Seems to be based in Tralee but have never come across him. Has a Subaru Impreza similar to the one posted above plus an Auris I must take a look at.

Subaru is something like €1700 cheaper than the Toyota Auris of the same age which probably says something about the Subaru or else the Auris is overpriced.
