Our Verdict
This is a solid option for those seeking a MINI Paceman with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle has maintained a steady mileage pattern and has avoided any recorded MOT failures in its recent history.
When viewing this specific 1.6L petrol model, you should request the service history to see if the oil changes have been performed at the recommended intervals, as the MOT data does not confirm maintenance quality. Check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items that often appear as advisories even when no failures are recorded.
Given the Paceman's styling, inspect the bodywork for any signs of scuffs or damage to the white paintwork. Since the MOT history shows no defects, focus your negotiation on the service book and any receipts for parts replaced between tests, as the MOT only provides a snapshot of roadworthiness at the time of testing.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively manageable for a premium small crossover. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but you can expect average urban and motorway figures consistent with 1.6L MINI engines.
Maintenance costs for MINI vehicles can be higher than for standard economy brands due to parts pricing. You should budget for regular servicing and potential component replacements as the vehicle approaches higher mileage. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is between £1,200 and £1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures for items like brakes, suspension, or lighting. However, you should manually inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or leaks that might not have triggered an MOT failure in the recent tests.
Pay close attention to the electronics and the dashboard for any warning lights, as the MOT does not test all electronic systems. For this specific model, check the condition of the suspension bushings and the engine bay for any signs of oil weeping, which are common areas of interest for 1.6L petrol engines of this age.
This 2016 white MINI Paceman, powered by a 1.6L petrol engine, shows a consistent history of annual MOT passes. With 70,566 miles recorded in November 2025, the mileage is consistent with its age and usage patterns. The most notable feature is the absence of any recorded defects or failures across the five most recent MOT tests.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the MINI Paceman.
