Priced at £995, this car is advertised £1,301 below the AskCar estimate of £2,296. This is a large price difference, so check the price and vehicle details with the dealer. The AskCar estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, including 1,035 MINI Convertible adverts, and accounts for the car’s age, mileage and specification. We first saw this car advertised 123 days ago. Its asking price has since fallen by £1,500. The recorded MOT expired on 9 July 2026, so ask the dealer whether it has been renewed.
