I'd be inclined to get it on Collecting Cars - low mileage cars have shot up in value recently. More so if it's a JCW.

I just collected an absolutely immaculate 2005 Merc CLK 200 Kompressor with 5,960 miles from Southampton for a winning bid of £6600 + £600 buyer's premium.
Effectively a 15 year old new car at the bottom of the depreciation curve - I lost more than that on my Polo GTI which I ran for less than 2 years and 38K miles.
Wafted the 500 miles back to Glasgow in comfort at 77mph/ 35mpg without a hitch.

Sounds like a great buy! These two give an example of what lower mileage Minis have sold for:

So people are very interested
Impressed with sale value of those given 8 k plus
I had no idea other than knew they had bottomed out and were on up.
It’s a grey with white roof with all extras! Not been messed with.
Can’t see it being with me by next week although getting sellers remorse!
Not as much as when the 356 Carrera 2 GS/GT went . That still annoys me!
