New MINI owner question,

Hello MINIacs

I just purchased a 2016 MINI 5 door. It has a astoundingly low 6000KM, (3700Miles) The previous owner barely drives it and his last service was done in August 2017.

Of course when I bought it, the service light is on showing August of 2018 needs service.

It read oil and brake fluid needs attention.

My question is, with the low mileage, is just a oil change enough? or should flush the brakes too?

Brake fluid is a time service, so probably due according to MINI.

You should do both. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years and the oil change interval is based on driving conditions, although I normally replace mine every 5,000 miles regardless.
