Mini One Brake Light Problem Solved

I have a similar Mini One, and I experienced a brake light issue not long ago. Was the error message consistent, or did it appear intermittently? Have you checked the brake light bulbs themselves? Sometimes a faulty bulb can trigger a false error message.

The error was consistent. I did check the bulbs, and they seemed fine. Could a slightly faulty brake switch cause this, even if the lights are working?

Yes, a faulty brake switch is a likely culprit. I had a similar experience, and it turned out to be the switch. However, since the lights are working, it might be a sensitivity issue. A diagnostic check at a workshop could pinpoint the problem precisely. It is important to address this for vehicle safety.

Well, would you believe it? I feel a bit foolish, but I'm also relieved. The brake light issue with my Mini One is resolved, and the grand total came to 0€. Apparently, my foot was ever so slightly resting on the brake pedal. This triggered the error and the warning lights. I removed my foot completely, and after a short drive, the error disappeared. Thank you for your help!
