Thanks for the replies was only to catch-up now. It's a pvt sale from a guy I know whose family are mini aficionados so I am not concerned about the history as it was maintained well and spec'd well.
I never thought about the WBC route to be honest I've always been a bit worried about buying a car from them.... but then I found this... thoughts?

They use the B48 so very reliable and easy to find parts, as this engine used on every thing from a 1 series to a 5 series. Just ultra rare though. I ahve only seen one before.
You see the D's more in a Countryman, which if you find a Countryman with Led headlights spec'ed, but it lol.
If this has full service history and checks out with Coismon this is def worth a lookThanks for the replies was only to catch-up now. It's a pvt sale from a guy I know whose family are mini aficionados so I am not concerned about the history as it was maintained well and spec'd well.

Case and point. WBC does not know what they are selling. That is not a GP3, it should have that ghastly looking aero kit, so this is just a plain JCW. If you know what you are looking for, you know what to look for WBC is a sunken pirate ship of treasure. Pricing seems to be semi decent though.
seems we just got the normal D
Here's is a price list when new from 2017 if any one is keen to check the options etc

Great cars these !
A performance bargain, did a little check the other day, on average these are 200k cheaper than a comparative Golf GTI

Nope, do you know of a similar one sold?

Enjoy. Funtastic little cars.
I picked up a 2018 Cooper S 4 door DCT for R285k ...has motorplan until April 2025. Good options including heads-up display, car play, keyless. 60,000km bought from Mini dealer.
This is our scond mini and what a cracker, proper joy to drive. Motorplan already replaced battery and engine mount 1 month into ownership. So I scored there.
You didn't mention price so just mentioning what can be had. Shop around.

On the F series, out of plan Mini's are a bit of a lucky packet. 38k km is low, but a few things to note:
1. They're noisy cars: Everything is compact, so listen for body-roll, sunroof creaks etc.
2. Door seals: Notoriously bad quality so starts to seperate/break
3. B series engines: while reliable, has a few plastic parts, oil filter housing is a usual suspect for coolant leaks (post 100k km)
4. Suspension and mounts: Top engine mount, along with control arms can be an issue (given how tight the suspension is)
5. Battery: The AGM batteries usually go after 5 years, check if it's been replaced (original costs >R5-6k)
6. Tyres: The tyres are a bit of an odd size (high profile, but relatively narrow (225 or 205), especially on the 18s) so can be expensive if up for replacement
