what is basic maintenance on a mini cost ?

 

That depends. If you follow MINI's recommendation, that answer will be 0 for the first 3 years or until you wear out your tires and/or brakes whichever comes first...

If you don't like their maintenece schedule well it depends on what your dealer or local mechanic charges for the service...

 

oil change is free at 10k and 20k. Optionaly at 5k and 15k. My mini quoted me $87 for an oil change.

I bought the filter for $10 and motor oil for $25. Changed it myself.

 

dealer $85

self $40 with filter and Mobil1.

 

Paid $60 at my dealer
