Woman shocked after discovering car has a secret compartment

A woman was left baffled after accidentally finding a secret compartment in her Mini.

There might be an endless list of bits and bobs you find in your car, and we would be lying if we said we knew what everything actually did.

It’s almost as if the car designers make them so that you discover things by accident constantly, from random hooks to cup holders.

Well, one TikToker was left shocked after realising there was an extra compartment in her Mini, and it turns out she wasn’t the only one.

The new revelation can be accessed by pressing one part of the dashboard, and although exciting, we’re not quite sure exactly what you’re going to fit inside it.

“I think I might be really dumb omfg,” TikToker @fenokami wrote as they posted a video of the compartment popping open.

And no, it's not the same as the glove compartment. (TikTok/@fenokami)

Writer Mollie Goodfellow also had a similar revelation recently after seeing someone else post about it online.

She tweeted: “Someone on Instagram informed me the other week that my car has a secret compartment, and I was like sure!!! Okay!! I’ve had this car for like two years I think I’d know!!!

“And when I say I yelped.”

Sharing a video of their own ‘secret compartment’ being opened, one person replied: “THANK YOU for this important information.”

Another commented: “I’m sorry… IS THAT A MINI? How do I open it?”

Goodfellow then responded: “Just push on the silver bit.”

The feature can be found on some Mini models – but not all, it turns out.

One X user was highly disappointed after realising that her new Mini did not feature the small compartment.

"This was my fav thing about my old mini and my new mini DOES NOT HAVE ONE and now whoever gets in the car with me can easily find all my car treats and I hate it,” they explained.

But it gets better.

One other person admitted they thought they didn’t know about the secret compartment, but was very much mistaken.

They wrote: “The best part about this is I’ve had my car for 7 years, thought this was brand new information, opened it and found some old yankee candle air freshener so what’s actually happened here is you’ve alerted me to a potentially serious memory problem - thank you for your service.”

BRB, just running out to check if my car has one... Not that I have a Mini. Or a car, for that matter.
