After an Oil Change Service at around 10K the MINI is supposed to have an Inspection Service (which includes an oil change) at 15K intervals. A MINI dealer should be able to tell you if and when these were done.

MINI's use full synthetic oil so the oil doesn't need to be changed every 3K. If you don't put many miles on your MINI the oil should be changed at least every 2 years.

Brake fluid should be changed at 2 year intervals.

Coolant should be flushed at 4 year intervals.
