Battery
Change the battery in your key fob is one of the easiest solutions. The key fob is powered by a tiny coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is usually available in general stores, home improvement shops, and even some auto parts stores.

If not, there could be another reason for the key fob not to work. For instance, it could be that the button is worn out. This will only make the button work infrequently but not constantly.
Interference
The key fob uses tiny transmitters to transmit a radio signal of a short range to a device in your vehicle. Its primary function is to allow your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you are near it and also start when you press the ignition button inside.
The problem is, interference can sometimes hinder the transmission. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it may prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.
Other electronic devices operating on the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers or tire-pressure monitoring devices may be affected. It's possible that an RF transmitter in your home might be interfering with the fob's signal, although this would be difficult to diagnose without an examination by a professional.
It's also possible that the mini clubman key fob is simply changed in its programming. The transmitter on the key fob needs to be recognized by Mini Dealer Milton Keynes's receiver.

If this is the situation, you'll need to clean the board with isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to installing an entirely new battery.
After the old battery has been replaced, it's a good idea to test the functionality of the fob before driving the vehicle. With a voltmeter, test the voltage of the replacement battery to see whether it's at an acceptable level. If not, it may be required to replace the entire chip in the remote.
