About us
ABOUT MINI TRADER
Mini Trader exists for people who love MINI cars.
Whether you’re buying your first Cooper, selling a Countryman, or just keeping up with what’s happening in the MINI world, this is your place. We’re not a general car site with a MINI filter. Everything here, every listing, every search filter, every piece of content, is built around MINI and the people who drive them.
WHERE OUR LISTINGS COME FROM
Our listings come from two sources.
Direct listings: Dealers and private sellers can list their MINIs directly on Mini Trader. These are managed by the seller and tend to reflect real-time availability.
Dealer inventory feeds: Our listings are pulled directly from dealer stock across the UK. These are real cars held by real dealerships. Because these feeds update on a cycle, a car may occasionally show on our site shortly after it’s been sold at the dealership. That’s standard across any marketplace that works with dealer feeds, including the big ones.
HOW BUYING WORKS ON MINI TRADER
Mini Trader is a marketplace. We connect buyers with sellers, and every transaction happens directly between you and the person selling the car. You contact the seller, arrange the viewing, agree on the price, and pay them directly.
There are no fees for buyers. You’ll never be charged anything for browsing, enquiring, or using our platform.
As with any used car purchase, we always recommend inspecting the car in person and running a vehicle history check before committing.
CAN’T FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR?
Submit a request with your preferred model, budget, and location. We’ll match your request with dealers who have relevant stock and connect you directly.
This service is free for buyers.

The Why, Who, When, Where, What (and What Not) Behind Mini Trader
HOW IT STARTED
Hi, I’m Ikram, the founder of Mini Trader.
I started this platform in 2024 after noticing something that didn’t make sense. Thousands of people were searching online for very specific things: a particular MINI model, a certain generation, a Cooper S in a specific colour, parts for a Clubman. Really specific searches. And where were they landing? General car sites and online marketplaces with millions of listings, where MINIs are buried alongside everything else.
On the seller side, the same problem existed in reverse. Dealers and private sellers were listing their MINIs on five or six different platforms just to reach the right buyer. There was no single place where MINI buyers and sellers could find each other without the noise of every other car brand getting in the way.
So I built one.
Mini Trader is still a small operation. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But we’re growing, and every decision we make is focused on one thing: becoming the first place people think of when they want to buy or sell a MINI in the UK.

WHERE WE’RE HEADED
We’re building Mini Trader into the home of the UK’s MINI community. That means more than just listings. We’re growing our blog with MINI-specific buying guides and model comparisons, building out our forum for owners and enthusiasts, and working with dealers across the UK to bring more stock onto the platform.
There’s a lot still to do. But if you’re here reading this, you’re part of it, and I appreciate that.
