The vehicle does not monitor the amount of brake life you have left nor does the red BRAKE warning light indicate that pads and rotor need replacement.

The red BRAKE warning indicator is meant to warn you when there is a dangerous hydraulic problem with your braking system. Take the vehicle to a professional, who know how to service an automotive braking system.

On a vehicle with brake pad wear sensors, if the sensors are new, then you have a broken wire.

How do you reset brake wear indicator on mini cooper?

The brake wear indicator is a non-reusable sensor that is installed in the brake pad. If this sensor is activated then the entire sensor must be replaced. Parts are available on-line if you are not close to a MINI dealership. After the worn sensor is replaced, you turn the key to position II without starting the car and wait for the light to reset. The sensor can be replaced without removing the caliper.
