href="/services/mini">MINI has been owned by German car-making giant BMW since 2000, but it was already making waves in the automotive world many years before. In 1961, the iconic Morris Minor became the first British car to have sold more than one million units. Then, in 2014, the original Mini was named Britain's favourite car of all time an astounding 55 years after its launch, beating the Jaguar E-Type and even the McLaren F1 supercar.

Despite the confidence of Aurelio Lampredi - Fiat's chief designer - that the Mini would never be a true rival because it was "so damned ugly", the enduring popularity of the model and its manufacturer suggest otherwise.

There are over 460 MINI clubs in the UK. This guide discusses how much you can expect to pay to service your MINI.

The Mini Hatch is a modern incarnation of the iconic British city car, large enough to compete with the VW Polo and SEAT Ibiza. It does 0-60 in five to 11 seconds, with a top speed of up to 130 mph. Quality is one of its greatest strengths, along with its well-appointed interior and many trim options drivers can choose from. At the WhatCar? Awards, it has won 'Best Car Interior' for three consecutive years in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Driver surveys and reviews often cite how reliable the Mini Hatch is; the main issues reported by drivers relate to the car's bodywork and clutch.

The engine management light (EML) - also referred to as the check engine light - is a small engine symbol that becomes illuminated on your dashboard to indicate a problem, the severity of which is suggested by the colour of the light (red or yellow) and whether it stays on or flashes (usually due to misfires).

Many things can trigger the EML. Some are easy to fix, such as a loose fuel cap, while others are more expensive, such as a faulty catalytic converter. One of the most common reasons is a defective oxygen sensor - if your car is also experiencing a drop in fuel efficiency and black smoke from the exhaust, this is likely why.

Read this guide for more information about why the engine management light comes on and how to fix it.

You don't have to risk driving your car to a garage when the EML is illuminated. Instead, you can book a mobile mechanic, who will carry out an engine management light repair at a convenient location for you.
