About this car

The Checkmate was a limited-run version of the first-generation BMW-era Cooper S, recognisable by its blue and silver paintwork and a blue and grey half-leather interior. This 2005 car has the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine producing 163 bhp, a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, with a claimed 0-62 mph time of 7.2 seconds.

It has covered 84,699 miles and is recorded as a one-owner car from new on the V5, which is unusual for a car of 21 years. Work listed includes new suspension and brakes, refurbished wheels with new tyres, and replacement decals.

The page describes the paintwork and underside as very clean. It has an MOT running to August 2027.
