Mini has been denying all claims for increased battery discharge indicating a battery not holding charge even when the car is under warranty. It recently happened to us. They claim unless the battery shows a dead cell, its a wear item.

I had my X5 battery replaced two years into ownership for increased battery discharge. 6 years in, the problem has yet to re-occur. Suffice it to say, this will be the last mini we purchase, and we will gladly tell people they don't fix known issues with their cars.
