A NEW programme offering used MINIs at dealerships throughout the country, called MINI Cherished, launches this month. The scheme offers vehicles with 12 months' unlimited mileage warranty and Europe-wide emergency service, plus accident management.

Nearly all MINIs sold through the scheme are expected to come with the £100 five-year MINI tlc service pack, while technicians will have checked the cars inside and out, including providing a full service if one is due in the next 4,000 miles.
