A MINI will let you know in good time when its brake pads need changing. CBS evaluates the data from two sensors on the left of the front axle and the right of the rear axle.

This display informs you when your MINI has to go in for an inspection. Calculations are adjusted every 50 kilometres, with the time between inspections varying according to how often you drive, how far you drive and in what sort of conditions you drive your MINI.

During the major inspection, the MINI is scrutinised down to the last detail. Brakes, steering and transmission are tested for wear-and-tear and all necessary liquids are topped up and, if need be, replaced.

The display in the rev counter of your MINI tells you exactly how much time is left or how far you can still drive before the next oil change is due (intervals vary according to your driving style and how frequently you're on the road). 

And a MINI engine oil change is more than just an oil change. The old oil is disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner and replaced with fresh, high-quality oil. The oil filter is also replaced − after all, what good's new oil if the filters are old? Last but not least, the microfilter in the air-conditioning is exchanged for a new one when necessary**, making sure that driving your MINI is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one.

Although you might never want to stop driving your MINI once you're behind the wheel, you still need to have the brake fluid changed. Your MINI will remind you automatically of the exact date (which varies according to the actual condition of the brake fluid).
