When you turn the ignition on it tells you when the service is due.

ah ok. so when i turn mine on it has a pic of a car and below says 2200 does that mean i have 2200 to have a service done or does it mean that i have to get it after 2200?

It’s a count down, If you have just got the car I guess its been serviced. . If you go into the options it tells you what the different service items are due.


Mini’s actually have a system that varies per car with driving conditions and styles from what ive been told.
MINI's service interval computer recommends relatively "long" intervals between oil changes of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 miles (or 2 years), whichever comes first. The exact mileage interval will vary depending on driving habits
The main factor determining 'conditioned based' service intervals is the degree of degradation in the engine oil. This is monitored by the ECM. This also monitors the diesel particulate filter. Likewise wear and tear of critical components such as brake pads is monitored by the DSC module.

Mini Coopers have 3 types of service: Oil Change, Inspection 1, and Inspection 2. Your Service interval display located in the center of the speedometer will notify you of which service type you need. Each time the vehicle is started the display will show the mileage until the next service is needed.
If the display is flashing and the mileage is displayed as a negative you have gone past the time of service and are overdue. The services come in this order, Oil change, Service 1, Oil Change, Service 2. repeat. Service 1 is also known as a Minor service and service 2 is also known as a Major service.
