MINI Tweaks Free Maintenance Program For 2017

MotoringFile reports on changes coming to the MINIUSA Free Maintenance program:

Brake pads

Brake discs

Wiper blades [sic]

Engine drive belts

MT clutches

To coincide with this change, this March 2016 MINI will begin to offer an additional range of fully transferable dealer-sold MPU products that provide an opportunity to further enhance and extend coverage. However the key word there is offer. They will not be free.
