The Lease Maturity process for your MINI is simple. To ensure things run smoothly, there are a few simple steps you’ll have to complete. Below is a personalized event timeline that we’ve created to notify you of these important dates and requirements.

Get a fresh start with a new MINI from our most exciting model lineup yet. From the feisty MINI 3 door, to the sophisticated MINI Clubman, every new model in our range sets a new standard, with added practicality, fresh innovations, and advancements in performance technology. And with an array of flexible leasing, financing, and kilometre options offered through MINI Financial Services, getting into a new MINI is easier than ever before.
Take home the iconic styling and impeccable handling of the MINI you've come to love for good. Since most MINIs hold their value so well, hanging on to yours may be a wise decision. So, if you would like to keep your faithful motoring companion, start by speaking to a MINI Financial Services advisor about refinancing the remaining amount on your MINI.
Not ready to part ways with your current MINI just yet? We completely understand. With this option, your journey can continue when you re-lease your current vehicle. It’s been a great ride for you so far, so why not keep it going? If you’re looking to re-lease, contact your MINI Retailer and speak to a MINI Financial Services advisor about the many re-leasing terms and options available.
It’s no secret that MINI drivers actually drive their MINI vehicles. And it’s completely understandable if your MINI has acquired a few scuffs and scratches over the years. If you’re planning on returning your current MINI, this handy interactive guide will assist you with checking for acceptable wear and use, and help you determine if any maintenance or repair work needs to be completed before your vehicle return date.
