Should a broken spring be covered by a manufacturer warranty?
My MINI Clubman, which is slightly less than 3 years old, has just had its near side spring break. Should it be covered under the 3-year warranty? The car has done 17,000 miles.

It will very much depend on the cause of the spring damage. Most springs are broken by potholes, speed humps or mounting kerbs. These instances are not manufacturing faults and will not be covered by the warranty. If the spring has failed for some other reason then the MINI dealer should make a claim under the warranty.
