Does my manual MINI need a gearbox service?

Does my MINI Countryman manual 2013 1.6D need a gearbox service?

Manual transmission MINIs have 'lifetime' transmission oil, so this should not be required. However, if you plan to own the vehicle long-term you may wish to consider having the oil changed as a precautionary measure.
