Try a fully charged battery. I have noticed the MINI doesn't appreciate a slightly low battery. also if the jumper cables are too long MINI doesn't like that ether. Strange I know.

in modern computer controlled cars like the MINI

I have seen where a 'completely dead battery' would not allow the car to be jumped

BUT if you leave the cables hooked up for 10 or 15 minutes the dead battery will charge just enuf to power up the computer and THEN the car will respond to the jump

Or just fully charge the battery by other means
