Hey guys, first post on here....

Just bought a 52 plate Cooper S, Dark Silver, and I'm loving it!
It's Mini Cherished, with only 28k on the clock!

Just got a question regarding servicing...

Had a look in the service book and I'm confused by the stamps, or rather lack of them!

The Service Interval Indicator is showing 2000 miles to the next inspection and 500 for the brake fluid.

It has two stamps for Brake Fluid , first on 08/05 at 13k, and on 08/07 at 25k

and two stamps for Maintenance Work, the pre delivery check and one at 08/05 at 13k, with just ticks against Oil Service and Micro- Filter..

It's had TLC cover and I've just extended that, but my TLC booklet only has vouchers for a brake fluid service and the 3rd and 4th service visits.

Does this sound about right? Just thought I'd ask on here before challenging the dealer.

Thanks in advance

The Inspection 1 Service occurs approximately 15,500 miles after the Oil Change Service.

Brake fluid is changed every two years from build date.

The miles until Inspection Service and days until Brake Fluid Change shown on your MINI appear correct.

Okay, thanks for that.

Just a bit worried that a 5/6 year old car hadn't even had the Inspection 1 service!
