I was gonna guess that but somethings telling me double figures?

Pretty sure there was a paragraph in the handbook or tlc booklet about it

according to a post on MINI2 it is a 60,000 miles or 5 year anti corrosion warranty, so don't know if yours fits within those parameters?

also, not sure if the details have changed.... :confused::smilewinkgrin:

Anti rust warranty is 6 yrs or 60k miles. So you were close.:thumbs up:

Only six years! Most cars offer 12 do they not?

Mine is 12 years :smilewinkgrin:
And it has a damn good lick of paint on it as well

Rob, Also worth remembering to check under the sills as well as they were rusting after X amount of months from new ;)

Our £7k Aygo has a 3 year paint work warranty + a 12 year corrosion/perforation warranty.

Where are the MINI warranty conditions detailed?

I just had a quick look through all the manuals and could not find anything.

Really! Wow.

I kinda thought these Jap cars had paint sprayed on about a micron thick too. Perhaps this is more to do with the metal preparation than actual paint finish. Not referring to Sweeney's VW there though.
