What you get
Example — from a real report
Descriptions use MINI's factory terminology. A typical report lists 60–150 codes.
Use cases
Buying a used MINI
Verify the spec in the advert against the factory record — original paint, factory options, and whether the advertised package is genuine.
Selling with confidence
A documented factory spec supports your asking price — desirable factory options are worth showing, not claiming.
Restoration & parts
Order the right parts first time and return a project car to its exact original specification, down to the trim code.
Insurance & valuation
Agreed-value policies and specialist valuations often ask for proof of factory options — the build sheet is that proof.
Frequently asked
Which MINI models are covered?
Factory build data is available for Cooper, Clubman, Countryman, Convertible and Electric, among others. Coverage varies by model year and delivery market — the free preview confirms availability for your exact VIN before you pay.
Can it verify a genuine John Cooper Works?
Yes — the factory record confirms whether a car left Plant Oxford as a JCW or with the JCW factory packages, rather than being converted later. Every factory option is listed with its code.
What are the S option codes?
Factory options are recorded as S-prefixed codes in the production record. Your build sheet lists every code against your VIN with the factory description — the definitive record of original equipment.
Do I need the VIN, or will the UK reg work?
Either works. For UK-registered cars the reg is enough — we resolve the VIN automatically. For imports or unregistered vehicles, use the 17-character VIN.
Is service history available for MINI?
Yes — a digital service record PDF is available as a +£5.00 add-on for UK and European market MINI vehicles.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from official manufacturer build records, keyed to your VIN — the same data a franchised MINI dealer sees. It can't be edited by a seller and doesn't rely on paperwork surviving.
