2003 BMW Mini One D review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, stylish and economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel bearing failed at circa 35,000 miles
Bearing to fan belt idler pulley failed at circa 40,000 miles.
General comments?
Road holding superb
Build quality very good, no squeaks or rattles
Fuel consumption - averages 57 miles per gallon
Performance - a little slow to pick up, but once motoring plenty of torque.
Not particularly cheap to buy, but I had all the extras.
