The brake fluid is often underestimated but plays a crucial role in your MINI’s braking system. It ensures that the braking force from the pedal is reliably transferred to the brakes. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture – which can noticeably reduce braking performance. Regular replacement is therefore essential to maintain safety and proper function.
Why is changing the brake fluid so important?
- Safety: Old brake fluid absorbs moisture, lowering its boiling point. Under heavy braking, this can cause vapor bubbles in the system – the pedal feels soft, and braking power decreases.
- Full braking performance: Fresh brake fluid ensures a firm pedal feel and consistent braking power, meaning precise and safe response in every situation.
- Longer lifespan: Regular changes protect lines, pistons, and seals from corrosion, extending the durability of the entire braking system.
When should the brake fluid be changed?
- Every two years: Most manufacturers – including MINI – recommend changing the brake fluid every 24 months, regardless of mileage.
- If irregularities occur: If the brake pedal feels spongy or the braking distance increases, the brake fluid should be checked and replaced immediately if necessary.
At Miniparts24, we use only high-quality, manufacturer-approved brake fluids. The replacement is carried out cleanly, quickly, and professionally – including a full functionality check of the entire braking system.
