From the original post I'm guessing it's an R50/R53 - so an "original" New MINI.


It's on runflats... Original original mini never had those... Only the BMW original mini (and then an option I think).

Wrong! original Mini had runflats as an option, 1275's etc

front control arm rear bushes have almost certainly had it, either fit new genuine ones that might last 2 years or fit poly bushes. other than that, track rod ends and a four wheel alignment, they are generally pretty good and dont wear the suspension out too much :smiley:
