Default Fan Kicking in early

i dunno if its me or its the car maybe because it gets to hot quickly but when i drive maybe with in 10 mins maybe 15 my fan kicks in for 2 seconds then goes off is that normal for a cooper s? the temp gauge stays the same with the needle directly in the middle?

I wouldn't worry. Only worry when the gauge goes up and the fan doesn't kick in.

I was experiencing this during the hot spell we had in July, my fan was continually kicking in evening after just 5 min of driving. I did discover that my coolant levels were lower than they ought to be and since topping up the fan has kicked in far less often. It's worth a check, I would have assumed mine would have been done when in the garage for servicing but it obviously hadn't.
