WORRIED ABOUT ADVISORIES

Greeniiie

Please can someone help me? My advisories for the car which I’ve brought and I’m worried it’s going to cost a lot? 

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

• Nearside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material to flexible hose (1.1.11 (c))
• Offside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material to flexible hose (1.1.11 (c))
• Offside Front Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material to flexible hose (1.1.11 (c))
• Rear Exhaust mounting defective (6.1.2 (a))
• Nearside Front Upper Macpherson strut mounting damaged but not seriously weakened Bearing worn (5.3.3 (b) (i))
• Fuel cap/sealing device defective (perished seal)
• Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))
• Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))

It’s a Mini Cooper 2002 any advice will be amazing

An 18 year old mini is now banger territory. If it’s passed the Mot then enjoy your car for another year and see what happens next time.

Do you mean you have just bought the car with these advisories?
A 2002 mini with 1 years MOT? perhaps in the £200 to £250 range? Perhaps a bit more or less depending on condition?
Run it for a year and "IF" still running, either put in for an other MOT or scrap for perhaps £100?
Cheap banger for a year at £150?

All pretty much standard advisories for older cars, none of which should cost a fortune to sort.

As above it has passed,drive it for a year and see what happens next MOT,none of the problems are that expensive to reair.

Drive it like ya stole it. Next year take it to a sensible mot station. 2002 minis are good fun on twisty but flat roads. Not enough guts for hilly terrain
