Our most recent review of the 2017 Mini Cooper resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: Minis have cool, brave styling and they’re great to steer, but they tend to be a bit overpriced and under featured. What the 3-Door Hatch Cooper Seven does is add better value for money to what is already a fun to drive package.

You’re right; it is silly advice. The onus shouldn’t be on you to know that there is a potential problem and that you should check these things; it’s the carmaker’s responsibility to design the car such that it doesn’t have problems. When they discover there is a problem they are responsible for fixing it. I would pursue this issue through consumer affairs, and consider taking them to your state small claims tribunal for compensation. You don’t say what year your car is, but it doesn’t matter if the new car warranty has expired, in your case it seems you would have a good claim for your car being substandard and not fit for purpose.
