Keeping up Full Mini History ?

[kemp596]

After other people’s opinions on this, my partner has just got a 2014 Mini Paceman it currently has full mini service history, which as it’s 5 years old now I would of just taken to a local mini specialist for servicing etc. However the dealer we bought the car from that specialise in German cars recommended to keep up with the Mini history, even to the point that whilst not due a service they carried out a oil & microfilter service before purchase but have not stamped the service book due to not wanting to effect the full Mini history.

What do people reckon, is it worth bothering to keep upto servicing at a mini dealer at 5 years old, a quick comparison online it seems Mini is not that much more expensive than independents.
