What is your car ownership history? If bmw, then you know what you are in for. Just a tad worse with a coe mini.

For Mini R56 gen, I will skip any model that is not running on N18.

Labour cost could be higher than part cost.

12 years old car milage 104k? 2nd hand cars are known to have 80% car experience milage "adjustment" PLUS 6 owners!!!! mean average 2 years one new owner!! cannot be all 6 owners car collector use low milage for this car right!! car experience milage adjustment is very very likely!!!!! 

good luck for this purchase! Of course I can be wrong, but base on these 2 pointers and reputations of MINI, I will not part my money for this car.

it's ok, that's what tuition fees are for.
it'll not be wasted...
next time can give advice to others on whether it's expensive to repair a COE mini.
not forgetting the workshop one can go to.

[Roh96]

Just curious, is it the "S" version that is expensive to maintain or generally both S and non S version?

Where is the COE MB C180 thread.. 

Maybe TS should go read that thread.  COE car, many owners with low mileage.  See already should immediately stay far far.

It’s must be true that each owner is a retiree and travel very little, park in sheltered condo carpark. 🤣

6 owners and they were all low mileage users...possible lah..bcos the car was in workshop most of the time. Lol.

Holy mama, that's an obvious bomb for the next owner... If you really die due must want that car, ask for at least 10K discount for repairs. Else jus walk away, there are better ways to spend your hard earned money...
