Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify fuel pump crash plate recall completion by VIN.
3. Ask whether the trailer hitch recall applies and was completed.
4. Request repair records for steering and brake complaints.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
