Tough
standards |
You won't be taking a
chance with a Cherished MINI. In fact, we guarantee
you'll take home a car that's been seriously looked
after.
Every Cherished MINI is closely examined by
MINI Technicians. They're put through detailed checks -
including a full road test - and if any problems are
found, they're fixed using genuine MINI parts. So all
factory-fitted equipment will be in full working order
and your tyres will have a minimum tread of 3mm. Your
MINI's paintwork and trim are restored to suit its age
and mileage, and it has a full valet before you get
it. |
 |
|
Minimum 12
months MINI Cherished Warranty |
This covers all Cherished
MINIs, and it's really worthwhile because it isn't
backed by a third party company - it's backed by
MINI.
Our Cherished Warranty even guarantees the
battery and exhaust system for 12 months, and includes
12 months MOT Insurance. We've developed these features
because car buyers have been asking for them, and
because we want you to know your MINI will be just
fine.
In fact, the MINI Cherished Warranty is so
good, and so close to the Warranty we give people who
buy our new cars, that the only things that aren't
covered are routine service items like brake pads and
discs. Your MINI Dealer can answer any other questions
you might have. |
|
|
12
months MOT Insurance |
| Because of all these
checks and tests, a MINI Cherished car won't need an MOT
for at least 12 months (excluding Northern Ireland), and
your 12 months MOT Insurance will protect you against
any unexpected costs. That includes repairing and
replacing specific components. In addition, if your MINI
comes with a MINI Dealer Warranty with more than 12
months cover left, that's how long the MOT Insurance
will last, too. Best of all, it's free! |

|
Full
service history |
| Cherished MINIs have to be
in top form to qualify for our seal of approval! As well
as being serviced to proper MINI standards, any car that
needs a service within 4,000 miles gets one before being
given to you. |
|
|
Independent
history check |
| This makes sure your MINI
hasn't been stolen or written-off, and isn't subject to
any outstanding finance agreements. You'll get a
certificate to prove it. (Sorry, but we can't verify the
history for cars registered outside the UK before being
imported.) |
|
|
Independent
mileage check |
| This check verifies that
your MINI's mileage is what it claims to be, and gives
you a certificate to prove it. (Sorry, but we can't
verify the mileage for cars registered outside the UK
before being imported.) |
|
|
MINI
Emergency Service |
| This
gives you 24 hour assistance for motoring emergencies throughout the UK
and continental Europe. It's unlikely that your Cherished MINI will
break down, but if it does, we'll look after you, your passengers and
your car. MINI Emergency Service to the rescue! Any issues you
experience whilst travelling abroad with your MINI, even if you
encounter a legal or medical problem, the MINI Emergency Service
multilingual team will be able to provide you with practical advice. If
you get ill and you've got to be back in Blighty, but you're the only
driver, we'll sort it. We'll even make sure your MINI, passengers and
all your gear get back safely too. |
|
|
MINI's
Commitment |
| We're
completely confident in all the MINIs in the Cherished
programme. So much so that if anything goes wrong in the
first 30 days or 1,000 miles of your ownership
(whichever is sooner), and we can't sort it out, you're
entitled to an exchange. And if we can't do that, we'll
refund you. This doesn't affect your statutory
rights. |
|
And there's
more! |
| There's more to being a
MINI Owner than all this, too. Things that make running
costs lower, servicing easier, and generally help keep
your MINI in tip-top condition. Take a look! |
|
|
Flexible
finance options |
Our finance packages make
Cherished MINIs even easier to buy, and they can be
adjusted to suit you best*.
They can be adapted to
suit you or your business, and we guarantee you'll get
the same quality you'd expect from any MINI product,
obviously. So instead of going to your bank or building
society, get your MINI Dealer to sort you out with a
quote. They can give you information on all our
packages:

private and business customers
MINI Select - personal
contract purchase for private and business
customers
MINI Drive - contract hire for business
customers
MINI Lease - leasing for business customers

range of benefits and competitive premiums

Shortfall Insurance - reimbursing the depreciation if
your MINI is an insurance total loss

of life.

MINI
tlc |
If you choose a MINI that
has MINI tlc vouchers left over from the previous owner,
you can use these to keep your car fully serviced. MINI
tlc is a voucher system we offer our customers when they
buy a new MINI, which give you five years or 50,000
miles servicing - (whichever comes first*) for free.
Here's what else it does:
- MINI tlc gives you
fixed-cost/inflation-proof servicing throughout the
policy
- Your MINI's service history will get MINI
Dealer service stamps, which will improve its value when
you sell it
- MINI tlc is fully transferable. If you
sell your car before you've used all the vouchers, the
new owner can use them. All they have to do is register
themselves at their local MINI Dealer as the new owner -
this also improves the value of your car.
For
more information, contact your local dealer.
*If your
driving style means your MINI needs servicing more
frequently than it should - additional services are not
covered by your tlc vouchers. If in doubt, ask your MINI
Dealer for details. |
