    A few years back MINI did extend the warranty on the 04-06 O2 sensor to 10 Years / 100K miles. Being you have an 05 in theory if the O2 sensor is the faulty part here then you would be covered. There is a range of VINs that are covered. I might suggest a call to MINI US, 866-ASK-MINI

    You may have to gently remind your Service Adviser about the extension.

    MINI extended the O2 sensor warranty on all R53 MINI's to 100,000 miles.

    Nathan, I called Mini, they said if that's what it turns out to be it will be covered. My service advisor said the code i had meant nothing to him until the techs there used their system.

    it's usually what comes first, 10 years, or 100k. I would say no matter what, that warranty has expired. It is almost 2018
