MINI F57 One Servicing Costs – Convertible Fun, Entry-Level Running Costs
The MINI F57 One Convertible pairs open-top driving with efficient, fuss-free motoring. Powered by a 1.2-litre or 1.5-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine (depending on year), it shares much with the Cooper — but detuned for economy and insurance benefits. Despite being the base model, it still needs proper care to avoid common faults.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer transparent, fixed-price servicing using OE-quality filters and BMW LL-04 approved 5W30 fully synthetic oil.
What’s Included in Every MINI F57 One Service?
Engine Oil & Filter
Every service includes BMW LL-04 100% synthetic 5w30 oil and OE-spec filters to protect the engine and emissions system.
VANOS & Camshaft Fault Checks
We check for camshaft reluctor faults, VANOS oil control valve problems, and early warning signs of timing issues — all of which can trigger drivetrain errors.
Convertible Checks
The F57 roof mechanism is inspected for smooth operation, sensor calibration, and drainage — helping prevent leaks or electrical faults.
Genuine Advice, No Upselling
We service dozens of MINI Convertibles every month — and we’ll always explain what needs doing and why, with no pressure or sales pitch.
MINI F57 One FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What engine is in the F57 MINI One? | Earlier models use the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol; later versions have a detuned 1.5-litre B38 unit. Both are efficient and torquey — but sensitive to oil quality and VANOS control. |
| How often should it be serviced? | We recommend every 10,000–12,000 miles or yearly. Don’t leave it to the onboard reminder — timely oil changes prevent expensive faults. |
| What are common faults on this model? | Camshaft reluctor issues, VANOS solenoid failure, oil leaks, and occasional ignition coil faults. All are covered in our inspection process. |
| Do you reset the service light? | Yes — we reset the onboard computer and update the digital service record where supported. |
| Is this engine safe to remap? | We advise against remapping this engine. It’s already running close to its limits in standard form, and many tuning failures involve camshaft or timing issues. |
