Video tutorial

After a few years of using your Mini Cooper, you will need to check the brake fluid level and, if necessary, top it up. In this video, we can see where the reservoir is located and how to access it. It is found inside the engine bay, right next to the battery, on the driver's side.

To access it, first remove the panel where the positive terminal is located, and then remove the secondary cover.

To top up, simply unscrew the cap of the reservoir and add the necessary amount of fluid to reach the optimal level.
