Can anyone tell me what this means please. Can’t get a straight answer in the owners manual. Came on and then went off when the engine was restarted.

Not the service light, seems to be either breaks or general “come in and we’ll plug our laptop in”

I had this come on my BMW this week. On the idrive it says the rear brake sensor has a fault.

I suspect you can go through the computer onthestalk before starting the engine and it will let you know what is wrong.

I think its an mot/inspection reminder, set to come on before the mot expires on my wife's mini iirc.

On my mini its the service inspection due notification, as you say it comes on when starting the car, then extinguishes.
I then go into the settings and it tells me what's due, currently brake fluid is due a change.

A quick googling would have found you the answer significantly easier & quicker.

Was the “ This symbol may also appear for other vehicle defects that require attention“ bit that was a touch ambiguous

Sadly no crystal ball, but perhaps a forum full of Mini owners who may have experienced something similar might be able to shed some light...?

Was there any other light on with it ? if not then its simply the inspection service needed (no oil or filters) if there were other lights then we need to know.

You didn’t happen to try driving over one of those rising bollards did you?
