Question about buying 2020 mini 2 door hardtop
 
Hello,

I am thinking of buying a 2020 preowned hardtop mini 2 door (currently at 2300 miles). While researching the VIN I saw the car had 2 recalls since Aug 2019, Structure recall and Air bag recall. Both of those have been fixed since. Should I be worried about these recalls?

AIR BAGS | AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE | AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:CURTAIN
Report Receipt Date

Due to a problem with the rollover sensor within the air bag control unit, in the event of a rollover crash, the head air bag, seat belt pretensioners and other safety systems, may not activate.

If the safety systems do not deploy as intended in a roll over crash, it may increase the risk of injury.
