Regular servicing helps identify wear at an early stage and keeps your MINI reliable in everyday use. At Miniparts24, you can choose between a minor and a major service. Both packages include reading the fault memory and a visual inspection of the relevant components.
The right service scope for your MINI depends on its model, engine, mileage, use and previous maintenance. We need the complete 17-character vehicle identification number to identify the vehicle and required parts correctly.
Minor or major service for your MINI?
Minor service
The minor service is our basic maintenance package. It includes:
- Engine oil change using an engine oil suitable for the specific MINI
- New oil filter – the oil filter is, of course, included in the package
- Fault memory scan and recording of stored fault entries
- Visual inspection of the relevant components, where accessible without dismantling and within the scope of the service
Major service
The major service includes the complete minor service and additionally:
- New air filter for clean intake air
- New cabin filter for filtered air inside the vehicle
- New spark plugs for petrol engines
- New diesel fuel filter for diesel engines instead of spark plugs
Important information about the visual inspection: We look for visible irregularities in the relevant components. The visual inspection does not replace targeted fault diagnosis, dismantling or individual component testing. If we find an irregularity or relevant fault entry, we will discuss any further diagnosis or necessary work with you.
When should your MINI be serviced?
The maintenance display in your MINI, the specified intervals and its maintenance history are the primary references. Driving profile, frequent short journeys, high mileage or extended periods off the road can also affect the appropriate service time.
- When the maintenance or service display indicates that a service is due
- When the last oil change or inspection has not been clearly documented
- Before a longer journey or after buying a MINI with an unclear maintenance history
- When you want to arrange regular maintenance before any specific symptoms appear
