2006 Mini Cooper S Cabrio with a 1.6‑litre petrol engine, manual transmission, black exterior, 204,195 km, registered in the Netherlands, full service history, MOT valid until 15 October 2026, CoC available on request.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Beautiful and well-driving Mini Cooper S from the 2006 model year, with an original 1.6-liter 16V engine with Supercharger (hence Cooper S), 125 kW (=170 hp), paired with a manual six-speed gearbox. The car was newly delivered in the Netherlands, and the mileage is fully verifiable.

The Mini Cooper S R53 generation is one of the most reliable Mini generations from the BMW era, with a 1.6-liter engine paired with a volumetric compressor (the Supercharger), ensuring reliability and consistent performance. The 2004-2007 generation benefited from very useful developments, including a new Getrag transmission with better gear spacing, a more reliable steering rack (adding a steering fan), and the addition of the glove compartment. Starts, drives, shifts, and brakes well, as good as new.

documents

It has a valid Dutch APK until October 15, 2026. The car can be delivered (for an additional 50 euros) with an official EU Export Document, making it easier for a potential foreign new owner to register the car in their country.

Bodywork

This Cabriolet Cooper S has a beautiful, original black metallic color, which Mini aptly calls Astro Black, see photo. In terms of rust, this car is above average condition; it has no rust on the well-known Mini spots (rear hatch, around the taillights, etc.). The only minor signs of use are present, see photos. The underside is also so neat, truly a tidy car.

Technical:

The original alloy Mini wheels are, of course, quite eye-catchers. The Mini has been well maintained, with various service stamps present in the service booklets. Last year, the car was driven very little, which is also the reason for its sale. It steers as well as the best, making it a delightful car to drive. The car starts immediately, accelerates well, shifts, steers, and brakes perfectly.

Interior

The interior of the car is also quite tidy, with some signs of use. The upholstery is neat, as are the door panels and carpeting. The car features a clean interior, a leather sports steering wheel, air conditioning, electric windows front and rear, and a radio. The electric roof and windows work perfectly. The original radio with CD is installed and functions well.

Transport:

The car is located in Hengevelde, Netherlands, and can naturally be picked up here. The car can be delivered within the Netherlands for an additional 150 euros (excluding the Wadden Islands).

The seller can have the car delivered relatively inexpensively across the entire EU by a professional carrier.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
