This video shows how to access the onboard service menu on third-generation MINIs equipped with the small central screen, including:
- F54 MINI Clubman (early/lower-spec models)
- F55 MINI 5-Door Hatch
- F56 MINI 3-Door Hatch
- F57 MINI Convertible
- F60 MINI Countryman (base spec or earlier models)
The small screen interface was common on lower trim models from 2014 to around 2019 and uses the rotary controllers on the unit. This video explains how to view your service items including oil, brakes, MOT, and vehicle check schedules.
Service Menu Features
- Oil service date and mileage
- Brake pad wear indicators
- Brake fluid schedule
- Vehicle check (Major Inspection)
- MOT due date (UK-specific)
Access Instructions
Use the rotary controller to scroll to Vehicle Information, then select Vehicle Status. Then scroll down to Service Requirements. From here you can view all service items and their current status, including time/mileage remaining.
FAQs
Does this apply to the touchscreen models?
Yes (ish) – the process is very similar.
Can I reset the service intervals myself?
Not via this menu — We reset these service items using our dealer-level diagnostic tool, and we also update the digital service history at the same time.
Will checking this menu affect my digital service history?
No — this is a read-only menu. It shows onboard memory, but does not update or overwrite service history stored on BMW servers.
Does this work on all 3rd Gen MINIs?
This menu is found on most F54, F55, F56, F57, and early F60 MINIs with the small screen setup from 2014–2019. Later models may differ.
