Buy Reconditioned & Used Engine for your MINI One First
MINI One First is a brilliant base-level offering from an illustrious MINI lineup. However, this vehicle is also rare and hard to find as well. So, if you ever need to replace the engine of your MINI One First, you may find it an uphill task. Apex Engines can come to the rescue in this situation as they are experts in MINI One First engines and stock all variants of used and reconditioned MINI engines in large quantities. We can help you in the engine fitting process as well. Our expert and experienced mechanics are capable of fitting a replacement MINI One First engine. We are fully equipped and capable of carrying out all sorts of repairs and servicing of the MINI One First engines.
Entry Level MINI with Classic Charm
Not many vehicles can claim the same sort of history that MINI has enjoyed over the years. if you mention a small car then there is no way you can get away without mentioning the MINI. Over the years, MINI kept evolving and introduced industry-changing improvements. It impacted the price of the vehicle and eventually, the MINI which started as a cheap and cheerful option was out of reach for many. This is when MINI decided to introduce the MINI First.
Introduced in 2009, MINI First was considered a budget version of the MINI One. It is the most basic vehicle to roll out of the production line. The new entry-level contender is the perfect example of “less is more”. You get the same sound-built quality, retro design, and classic interior of the pricier MINI models. You have the same responsive steering and measured handling. It’s still great fun to drive.
Inside the interior has all the traits that you get in any other MINI variant. Strong and premium-feeling materials are used in the interior. You get more than enough head and leg room. You get the same boot space as you get in any other MINI variant.
Efficient Entry-Level Mini First Engines
The heart of the idea to introduce an entry-level vehicle lies in the engine that was provided to the MINI First. It was given a 1.2-Liter twin power turbo intercooler petrol engine that was capable of producing a respectable 75 hp at 4000 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 1400 rpm. This engine is not meant for rapid accelerations and it does 0-62 mph in a snail-paced 13.4 seconds. The top speed goes up to 106 mph. despite a large body, it returns an economy of 23 km/l.
Later on, another version was introduced with a 1.5-Liter displacement that produced the same 75 hp between 3500-6500 rpm and 160 Nm of torque between 1250-3000 rpm. Acceleration time was still a leisurely 13 seconds with top speed maxing out at 107 mph. it returned a 22 km/l average.
Buy Dependable, Used and Reconditioned MINI First Engines
Buying a brand-new replacement engine from the dealership might sound like a safer bet and ensure a few years of stress-free driving. However, those dealerships are notoriously expensive and on top of that, charge astronomical prices for fitting as well.
You should look into the option of buying used or reconditioned MINI First engines that are not on par in quality and performance but can save you a significant amount of money as well. Those engines are taken out of vehicles that are not considered roadworthy due to any major fault or impact. As long the engines are not impacted and are in perfect working condition, these are taken out and you can buy them at discounted prices.
Buying online is proven to be a better way of finding and buying used or reconditioned engines. You get more choices and you save more money due to the huge competition.
Apex Engines is Your One Stop Shop for MINI Engines
We stock a large quantity of used and reconditioned MINI First engines and have a complete setup and equipment that helps our experienced and highly trained mechanics provide faultless fitting service. We send our experts to the scrape yards scattered all over the United Kingdom who find and buy low mileage fully working used MINI First engines. We run several tests on the engines once these are in our facility and put them on sale.
We choose some of the low mileage engines and recondition these engines. Reconditioning the engine includes stripping the engine to the block and after a thorough inspection, all the faulty parts are replaced and the engine is put back together. This engine is as good as a new one in performance and reliability. If we can not provide the exact engine for your vehicle then we promise to rebuild the existing engine of your vehicle. our rebuilt engines are on par with new engines as far as reliability is concerned.
Great Savings and Customer Satisfaction
When you choose to buy a used or reconditioned engine instead of a new one, you can save up to 50% when you compare the price with a brand-new engine. there are further discounts available as well such as festive and seasonal sales. We also aim to provide complete customer satisfaction to our clients and we achieve this by offering a warranty on every engine that is sold on our website. The duration of the warranty depends upon the condition of the engine. this provides confidence to the customers.
