Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented latch is dedicated for installation in the rear left part of the Mini R55 body, in the tailgate area. It is responsible for the correct locking and unlocking of the tailgate, working with the factory opening mechanism. By maintaining the original design, it ensures:

• correct fit with the door panel or tailgate,
• proper operation of the locking mechanism,
• stable mounting without the need for modifications.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

As a component from the Doors and Door Panels group, the latch has been designed for a specific Mini body, taking into account the geometry of hinges, guides, and seals. Original origin allows for maintaining:

• compatibility with the factory locking system,
• proper cooperation with the vehicle's electrical system (if the design includes electric control),
• adequate rigidity and resistance to operational loads.

Thanks to this, the latch can be used as a replacement part in post-accident repairs, for wear of the factory mechanism, or for issues with the left side tailgate closing.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Using a Used Part

The offered latch is a used part, sourced from a dismantled Mini vehicle. Such components are often chosen by users who expect:

• original quality of workmanship and fit,
• maintenance of factory operating parameters of the mechanism,
• reasonable repair costs while maintaining OEM standards.

For door and tailgate latches, stable mechanical operation and correct locking are particularly important, which translates to the safety of the transported cargo and the comfort of daily vehicle use.

Benefits of Installing an Original Mini Latch

Using an original latch in the Mini R55 helps avoid problems typical of low-quality aftermarket parts, such as imprecise closing, excessive play, or accelerated wear. Key benefits include:

• factory fit for the Mini body – no need for mounting modifications,
• preservation of the original functionality of the left side tailgate,
• consistency with other elements of the door and door panel system.

This solution is particularly recommended for repairs where compliance with the manufacturer's service documentation and predictable long-term performance of the component are important.
