Passenger seat occupancy sensor failure. This is a very common fault in the R56 series Mini Cooper. The manufacture has not initiated a recall. There are vendors selling "bypass" kits which will cause unsafe air bag deployment in an infant is in the seat.

Lights come on & off for airbags and or seat belts - randomly - unknown as to why - or if they are working - sometimes stay on - for 2 weeks - then go off and not on for quite awhile (weeks) brought up as to -why" with no resolution except may need repair" Does not seem to make sense - no accidents or even close to an accident ever occurring- local driving - car maintained.

The passenger seat occupancy detector is broken. This is apparently a common problem with bmws and MINICoopers. Some models have been recalled. But many have not, including mine. The symptom is that seat belt and airbag warnings light up.

Airbag and seatbelt warning lights come on for passenger seat and will not turn off. It indicates that the passenger airbag will not activate in the event of an accident with an occupant in the passenger seat. Front passenger will not have airbag protection in the event of a crash.

Airbag warning light and seat bell light remains on entire time. There have been recalls on 2009 and earlier models but not 2010's, however it's the same issue. I recently purchased the car however the original owner had the replaced in 2015 but now the lights are back on.
