Hi,

Had the same issue in a Friends Car, mini cooper 2016

Cruise Control Failure
Speed Limit Failure

If you wiggle the steering wheel quickly left to right the fault normally disappears for a short time.

After some googling its the squib ring failing, (the unit directly behind the steering wheel with stalks on)
other symptoms are temperamental steering wheel controls / horn operation.

Bought a second hand unit from flee bay £30 to £50, and swapped it over no coding required, fault gone everything working as it should no error messages.

The hardest bit is getting the Airbag off.

Yes that's the part, but the one I purchased for £30 came with the stalks

It does seem to be a common issue, it was the first time I had seen it.

Its my guess yes mini are aware of it, as to whether they admit to it is a different matter.

If the part is purchased new from mini that's going to be expensive, my guess £200 - £300 plus labour

You could get your own unit from ebay (link below) then ask a garage to fit it, total £200 or less depending on the labour rate.
