Sorry for the stupid question but can somebody explain to me how the MINI servicing schedule works?

On my BM it's easy - inspection 1, oil service, inspection 2, oil service, inspection 1.....

Oh right, I didn't realise that...I thought it was broken down into lots of mini services as appose to something more structured?!

depends if it is first generation or 2nd
first generation was in the standard pattern
the more modern ones are on the condition based service schedule, this is the same for new bmws, it's a bit more complicated to follow, but basicly, the car tells you when it thinks things need doing, and you take it to the dealers they do it while they try and sell you a new car

If yours is the later mini with the slot in key and a start button, it is CBS (condition based servicing) which means you could go to a stealer and have the key read possibly like the BMW's, or you can press the button and hold it, on the end of the indicator stalk, to get into the CBS menu and see for yourself.

Typically the microfilter is done with the oil change, and every third oil change the plugs may be done with air filter, although this may have changed to second on the very latest.

Mot, brake fluid, vehicle check, front and rear pads are in there also
