Funny I was goin to post a similar question. I was told that as mentioned it depends on the distance travelled, but my question is when does this start calculating? ie From Factory Production date or When Dealer activates?
I was also told to expect between 15-20,000 kms for first service.
Interesting is that I took delivery in June 05 and have done 7,000 which is about 1,000 per month. The indicator showed 10,000 due for Service, which based on distance so far is after 10 months since delivery. So I was wondering why it was being serviced only after 10 months and not 12. I can only assume the other 2 months was due to a April Production meaning it was being serviced in 12 months, but from Production not delivery.
The other point is that Mini do not do a first service after 1500 kms which others do and change the oil at this first service, so this may explain why the
MCS service is 10 months but 12 months from production.
Are my assumptions correct?
