MINI F56 One Servicing Costs – Efficient Motoring With Careful Maintenance
The F56 MINI One started life with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine and later adopted a 1.5-litre version — both detuned versions of the B38 modular petrol engine found in larger MINIs and BMWs. While the MINI One is economical and reliable, known faults include VANOS valve failures, camshaft reluctor misalignment causing “Drivetrain Error” messages, and oil control valve issues.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer fully transparent fixed-price servicing for the F56 MINI One. Every service includes BMW LL-04 100% synthetic 5w30 oil, OE-quality parts, digital service updates (where fitted), and a detailed inspection.

MINI F56 One FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What engine is in the F56 MINI One? | Earlier models used a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine; later ones use a detuned 1.5-litre B38. Both are part of BMW’s modular engine family. |
| What’s the most common issue? | Drivetrain errors often caused by camshaft reluctor movement or VANOS valve failures. These are issues we check for during every inspection. |
| Is it safe to remap this engine? | We do not recommend it. The MINI One shares hardware with more powerful models, but reliability suffers greatly when remapped. |
| What oil do you use? | We only use BMW LL-04 100% synthetic 5w30 oil, which is suitable for these engines and protects timing components and emissions systems. |
| Do you update the service history? | Yes — we reset the dashboard reminder and update the electronic service record when supported by the car. |
