MINI R56 One D Servicing Costs – Low Tax, High Risk if Neglected
The MINI R56 One D is the most efficient diesel in the second-generation MINI range, powered exclusively by BMW’s 1.6-litre N47 engine. With zero road tax and excellent real-world mpg, it’s a favourite for urban drivers and company car users. But the N47 engine is known for early timing chain wear — especially when services are skipped or the wrong oil is used.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer fixed-price servicing specifically for the R56 One D. We check chain noise, DPF health, sensor readings, and more — all using OE-quality parts and BMW-compliant oil.
Why Choose Us for Your MINI One D?
Always the N47 Engine
Unlike the Cooper D, the One D only ever came with the 1.6 N47 diesel — and we know every weak spot on this power unit.
DPF & EGR Health Checks
City driving clogs DPFs fast — we check pressure readings, sensor integrity, and can clean or replace the backpressure pipe.
Low-SAPS Oil, OE Filters
We only use oil that meets BMW LL-04 spec to protect the DPF, turbo, and chain system — with genuine-quality filters.
Fixed Pricing, No Confusion
Clear, fixed-cost servicing for the One D — including labour, VAT, and everything needed to keep your engine safe.
MINI R56 One D FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What engine does the One D use? | The One D is fitted only with BMW’s 1.6-litre N47 diesel — the same base engine as the later Cooper D, but tuned for lower output and higher efficiency. |
| How often should I service it? | Every 10,000–12,000 miles or annually. More frequent oil changes help protect against timing chain stretch — a known weak point on the N47. |
| What faults are common on the One D? | Timing chain rattle, clogged DPFs, EGR valve fouling, and sensor pipe blockages are common. We check all of these during every inspection. |
| Do you reset the service reminder? | Yes — we reset the onboard computer and update the digital history where supported by the car’s software version. |
| Can you help if my DPF light is on? | Yes — we inspect and clean the backpressure pipe, assess soot levels using live data, and perform a forced regeneration if needed. |
