Let's see how to monitor the maintenance status of our Mini from the on-board computer: from the multimedia screen we select "vehicle info" and then click on "status" or "maintenance" and enter the control function. Here we find the mileage deadlines, that is, the kilometers remaining until the next service; the time deadlines for the next inspection.

If the indicator is green, then Ok, everything is in order. Also, to check the fluid levels, I can rely on the sensors that will indicate the engine oil level, brake fluid status, windshield washer fluid level, and coolant level.

If the light is green everything is fine and the levels are normal. If it is yellow the next deadline is approaching and checking is recommended.

Red: the deadline has passed and/or the fluid levels are critical or a fault is detected. With the same system, we also check the battery status, brake wear, tire pressure, and inspection deadlines.

With this system, we cannot check the power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and brake fluid separately.
