Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 111,826, you should carefully inspect the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt/chain replacements, which are critical for the 1598cc diesel engine. Negotiate on the price to reflect the higher-than-average usage and the potential for upcoming major component maintenance.
Pay close attention to the suspension and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows repeated failures and advisories for tyres being worn on edges or being misshapen (notably in 2021 and 2024), which can indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues that may require professional rectification.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Paceman should offer relatively efficient fuel economy for long-distance driving, though real-world figures will depend on driving style. You will need to check the specific Euro emissions standard to determine the exact road tax band and potential ULEZ/CAZ charges.
Insurance groups for MINIs can vary widely, so obtain a quote based on the specific engine and trim. Maintenance costs for this model typically include regular servicing and periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate.
Focus heavily on the tyres and wheels. The MOT records for this specific vehicle show a history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit and being 'mishaped' or 'worn on edge' (recorded in 2021 and 2024). This suggests you should check for uneven tread wear on all four tyres, which could point to faulty wheel bearings, worn bushings, or incorrect tracking.
Additionally, since the model aggregate data identifies brake pads and headlamps as top failure reasons, perform a thorough check of the braking system's responsiveness and the clarity and alignment of the headlight beams.
This 2016 black MINI Paceman diesel has covered 111,826 miles since its first registration in October 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, specifically regarding wear and unevenness, though the most recent test in October 2025 recorded no defects. The vehicle's mileage is substantially higher than the aggregate annual average for this model.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with tyres, headlamps, and brake pads being the most frequent reasons for failure.
