Owning a MINI is more than just fun behind the wheel — it’s also about knowing what you’re paying for. Whether you drive a classic Cooper or the latest Electric, we break down what servicing your MINI really costs in 2025.

What Does MINI Servicing Include?

A typical MINI service covers the following, depending on the model and mileage:

  • Oil and filter change
  • Brake fluid replacement
  • Microfilter (pollen) service
  • Air and fuel filters (for petrol/diesel)
  • VHC – Vehicle Health Check (Inspection) and diagnostic checks
  • Battery and tyre health
  • Software updates (especially for EVs)

eMini Tip: MINI uses Condition-Based Servicing (CBS) — meaning your car tells you what it needs and when through the on-board computer.

Pay Monthly

MINI has made it easier to plan ahead. You can treat your MINI to the care it deserves by opting for the monthly payment plan with petrol models from just £13.99 per month or the MINI Electric from only £10.00 per month. These prices are fixed for the duration so you’ll be protected from inflation and future prices rises from parts and labour.

Is it worth it? In a word — yes. If you’re planning to keep your MINI for the long haul, want stress-free ownership, and care about protecting its future resale value, then a service inclusive package is absolutely worth considering. It’s designed to take the hassle out of ownership, keep your MINI in top condition, and give you extra peace of mind — whether you’re driving it every day or planning to sell it later on.

Simple, smart, and very MINI.

Do Electric MINIs Really Need Less Maintenance?

Yes — and here’s why:

ComponentMINI PetrolMINI Electric
Oil changesYesNo

Brake wearModerateLower (regen braking)

MINI Electric models have fewer moving parts, fewer fluids, and use regenerative braking, which reduces pad/disc wear therefore reducing overall running costs.
