Engine MINI 1st Gen R52 S How to determine the engine mileage (swapped out engine)

Happy New Year all you MINI fanatics!

I have an interesting situation and I wonder if anyone can help.

The engine in my 05 Cabrio was replaced by BMW under an extended warranty (it ran up to 100K). They swapped out the original engine for a used one but that was done before I purchased the car. The previous owner provided me with all the invoices but that doesn't tell me anything about the engine mileage at the time of the swap. The car has 124,000 kms but since I don't know the engine's actual mileage, I can't tell if it's time to do any of the major maintenance work (supercharger service, serpentine belt, etc...). Engine is running fine and I plan to keep the car a few more years. I've owned it for 4 years now with no major engine work required and I do my oil changes religiously.

I guess I could just treat the engine as if it had the same mileage as the rest of the car but I don't want to do any major work if it's not really needed.

Can a dealer bring up this info from the car's computer or is there any other way to tell?

Cheers,

MD

 

Thanks for the info. Will need to go through the invoices to see what was done last. Lots of work was done on warranty so it's possible the belt was changed before I bought the car. The previous owner looked after it and would not hesitate to bring get the car in for servicing since he had the extended warranty. I am almost 3 hours away from that dealership so can't really take the car in to get it hooked on the computer to get more details. I have a local BMW dealer but he won't touch MINIs.
