Bought 2nd hand Mini - radio not working properly

Hi

Bought a 2nd hand Mini on saturday - once home realised radio is not working correctly - 3 buttons not working.

I will phone garage tomorrow but as they are 100 miles away I wanted to check my rights before i contact them

They gave me an extended 6 month warranty but unsure if radios would be covered

Any advise

What 3 buttons?

Before buying a car, press and test everything, windows, filler cap, wipers, washers, radio, everything.

It just saves all this hassle later.

How old a Mini are we talking about?

And don't buy a car so far from home next time.

2013 Mini - power & MODE buttons not working.

Obviously thanks for the responses - in hindsight great but not answering my question

It's a common problem.

It's fixable though, have a look at this
MINI Cooper Boost CD Radio Repair service to faulty buttons -No Power (revtronic.com)

I'm not sure what the dealer will do, I guess you could ask them for the money to repair it.

I think that's OK. I've driven well over 100 miles to buy the right car. Several times.
