How to Check When Your MINI Needs a Service
Knowing when your MINI is due for a service is key to keeping it reliable, safe, and running like new. This guide shows you exactly how to access the service menu in your MINI, whether you drive a Cooper, Countryman, or Clubman — second or third generation.
Where to Find MINI Service Information
Your MINI continuously monitors service requirements based on mileage and usage. You can check this via the onboard iDrive system or menu display — and the process differs slightly depending on model generation and screen size.
▶ Second Gen MINI (R55–R61): Service Menu Access
▶ Third Gen MINI (F55, F56, F57, F60)
These models use two different display types. Check the appropriate video below depending on your car’s screen:
Small Screen (Standard Display)
Large Screen (Visual Radio / Widescreen Sat Nav)
