Why is my MINI Cooper making a ticking noise?

I have a Mini Cooper that’s been making a weird ticking noise on and off for the last few weeks, and I can’t figure out why. Where is the ticking noise on my Mini Cooper coming from?

According to RepairPal, the most common cause of a Mini Cooper engine making a ticking noise is low oil level or pressure, an issue with the ignition system, or an exhaust leak.
In most instances, low oil level or pressure or an issue with the ignition system are the culprits, but there is the potential for a ticking noise to be unrelated to any of these issues. If you’re unsure what the root of the ticking noise is, call your local Mini dealership or schedule an appointment with a mechanic to have it diagnosed.
Having your oil changed is part of a regular
car maintenance schedule
, and it’s important to keep your Mini running optimally. But in addition to keeping up with maintenance, consider investing in a reliable
car insurance
policy that protects your Mini on the road.
