Hello James,

The 04 MINIs are pretty solid cars pending you keep up with the scheduled maintenance, look after it etc.. I do not believe the 04's suffered from the troublesome CVT automatic transmission failures of previous years, but again, I'm not sure. The power steering fan also tends to give up at times.

Jorge

P.S. Get a PPI done!
