My 2009 has rust developing along the bottom edge of the drivers door, found out to my horror last week. Need to take care of it ASAP before the rot sets in. Does the 12 year warranty cover all body work or just the tailgate?

Almost certain they will look for service history being kept up to date with dealer...
they may also suggest that it was painted before after collision...had these issues before..

Just to give ŷou heads up..

I have just bought a 54 plate R53 and it has a few rust bubbles on the tailgate,

Do you just go to your local mini dealer?

Thanks
