MINI Servicing Costs in the UK: What to Expect in 2025

Owning a MINI is about more than just the drive — it’s about maintaining that unique character and performance. Whether you drive a MINI Hatch, Countryman, or Electric, staying on top of servicing is key to keeping your car reliable and retaining resale value. But what exactly does MINI servicing cost in the UK in 2025? Let’s break it down.

While a minor service on a MINI is typically recommended every year or 10,000 miles, a major service is usually recommended every two years or 20,000 miles. The MINI Condition Based Servicing (CBS) system monitors the car’s condition and alerts the driver when a service is needed, potentially extending the intervals between services

1. MINI Service Intervals

• Most MINIs require a service every 12 months or 10,000–15,000 miles.
• Your MINI will notify you when service is due.
• Oil, filters, brakes, tyres, and fluid levels are regularly checked.

2. Typical MINI Servicing Costs (2025)

Interim Service: £150–£220
Full Service: £300–£450
Major Service (every 4 years): £500–£700

Prices vary slightly between models, locations, and whether you visit a main dealer or independent specialist.

3. MINI Electric vs Petrol Servicing Costs

Electric MINI:

• Fewer moving parts = lower servicing bills.
• No oil or spark plugs to replace.
• Expect ~30–40% lower annual maintenance vs petrol.

Petrol MINI:

• More regular servicing, particularly for performance models (e.g. JCW).
• Watch for wear on clutches, brakes, and turbo components.

4. Service Plans: Are They Worth It?

• MINI offers prepaid service plans that lock in costs and include MOTs.
• Plans range from £15–£25/month.
• Ideal for peace of mind and budgeting — especially with new or approved used cars.

5. How to Save on MINI Servicing

• Compare local MINI specialists vs main dealers.
• Use MINI Value Service (available for MINIs over 3 years old).
• Look for seasonal offers (winter/summer health checks, MOT bundles).
• Keep a full service history to protect resale value.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Skip the MOT

• MOTs are required yearly after the car’s third birthday.
• MINI MOT cost: typically £40–£55.
• Many dealers offer free re-tests if you book repairs through them.
