:1icon_frown: I test drove a Cooper S this evening and found there was a lot of bodyroll at speed with even the slightest turn of the wheel? Any particular reason/ fault that could cause this?

Thanks,
Eric

Sounds like an 'alignment' problem rather than 'bodyroll' , could the problem be described as being 'twitchy' and needing corrective steering input all the time ? if so it could be one of the following , poor or worn . tyres , incorrect alignment , worn steering components , worn wishbone bushes ,worn dampers, was it like this under braknig ? We have had a few MINIs in with similar symptoms and its usually one of above issues . difficult to be more precise without driving the car .
