Service and Repair

1. MINI warrants that the new vehicle purchased is not flawed in terms of materials and labor in the manufacturing process for a period of 3 years (With the option to purchase warranty extension package for up to 5 years). The warranty period starts from the first day a car is delivered to a customer. The terms and conditions do not limit the distance that the vehicle has traveled over the period. In case of a test drive, the warranty period starts from the first day the car was driven, either for the purpose of demonstration or a test drive.

For MINI Electric, MINI (Thailand) offers unlimited mileage warranty for a period of 4 years. In addition, customer may purchase unlimited mileage warranty extension package for up to 6 years.

2. MINI will maintain the vehicle within the limit of warranty. The decision to fix, change or maintain any parts is up to the judgment of MINI. Any part permanently removed from the vehicle will become the property of MINI. 

3. The warranty guarantees that any replacement parts will be without manufacturing flaws, and this guarantee lasts until the end of the original warranty period. 

4. The vehicle may be brought in for service at any MINI Authorized Dealer at your convenience. 

5. This warranty is related to the car, not the owner. Therefore, when the vehicle is sold to the next owner, he / she may enjoy the unexpired period of the warranty.

6. The warranty does not cover the following details:

• Mistreatment of the vehicle, carelessness, accidents.
• If the vehicle was maintained by a service station other than by a MINI Authorized Dealer.
• Faults which arise as a result of misuse, negligence, accidents or normal wear-and-tear.
• Faults which arise as a result of the vehicle being used for racing, rallies or similar competitive sports or, if your MINI has been modified without the MINI consent, then your warranty will be void automatically.

7. If servicing has been carried out by a non-authorized service station, MINI reserves the right to reject any claim where it is felt that the cause of the defect is due to the use of non-approved MINI parts or inadequate servicing or repair by a non-authorized service station. 

8. MINI car has been designed and built to extremely high standards to achieve optimum performance and economy. Neither MINI nor the manufacturer can be held responsible for modifications to the vehicle which lead to defects, unless those modifications have been approved by the manufacturer or MINI. 

9. Consequential loss as a result of a warranty problem is not covered. The vehicle owner should ensure that adequate insurance coverage for the loss or damage of personal belongings, property, etc. has been made. 

10. We understand that a defect might come to light after your official warranty has expired. In the interests of customer satisfaction may we ask that you bring such a situation to the attention of your MINI Authorized Dealer, so that full consideration can be given to the matter.
