How to safely lift the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In these short steps, we will see how to safely lift the Mini Cooper using a jack and jack stands, allowing us to perform all necessary maintenance. First, it is necessary to locate the anchoring points of the vehicle, which are found near the front and rear wheels; in this case, we will use a central lift, which will allow us to later position the jack stands stably (making sure the ground is flat and firm), as shown in the video. We will do the same on the other side of the vehicle!
