Teflon coated super chargers are fitted to face lift models as well as a lsd
Body control modules leaky boot seals rotten exhausts are some of there faults/ charms
My r53 has 106k on it and is as fresh as it was when it left the factory

As a rule of thumb, 54 plate cars and newer are the cars with the teflon coated superchargers.

Timing chains rattling, Superchargers with no oil in them and then pretty much the usual things for used cars..... (Exhaust, brakes, general condition)

as has been covered on here many times before... low mileage shouldn't be taken for being looked after just as much as high mileage shouldn't be taken for being abused. Check history, recent work, even how the car generally looks compared to it's age. ;)
