Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage MINI Paceman. The consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects suggests a vehicle that has met minimum regulatory standards for several years running.
When viewing this White MINI Paceman, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, they do not confirm regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance, which is critical for the 1598cc petrol engine. Ask for evidence of recent spark plug changes and fluid services.
Negotiate based on the service intervals. Since the MOT history is clear of mechanical failures, use your leverage to ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to MINI's recommended schedule rather than just the minimum legal requirement. Check for any signs of wear on the interior and tyres, as these are not always captured in MOT defect reports.
Running costs for this 1.6L petrol Paceman will be influenced by its insurance group and fuel efficiency. As a compact crossover, insurance costs will vary depending on the driver's profile, but it typically sits in a mid-range group for its class.
Fuel economy for the 1598cc engine is generally acceptable for a petrol engine of this size, though driving style will impact real-world figures. Expect typical maintenance costs to include periodic brake replacements and tyre changes, which are standard for this model. The estimated annual running cost is moderate for a premium small car.
Given the lack of recorded MOT failures, there are no specific historical defects to target. However, you should inspect the vehicle for common MINI-related concerns such as any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay or uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension geometry issues.
Check the condition of the white paintwork for any significant stone chips or scratches, and ensure all electronic components, including the infotainment and climate control, are functioning correctly. Since the most recent MOT in December 2025 showed no defects, the vehicle was deemed roadworthy at 46,048 miles, but a physical check of the tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness is still advised.
This 2015 MINI Paceman (AN61BEG) has covered 46,048 miles since its first registration in March 2015, which is relatively low for its age. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, notably with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent five years of testing. This specific 1.6L petrol model appears to have been used for moderate annual mileage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the MINI Paceman.

- Timing Chain Tensioner / StretchSerious
The N18 engine is better than the earlier N14, but the timing chain can still stretch or the tensioner fail, especially if oil changes were neglected.
- Automatic Gearbox "Shunting"Moderate
The 6-speed automatic can develop jerky shifts or a "shunt" when pulling away, often needing a valve body or solenoid repair.
- Window Regulator FailureModerate
The large frameless windows put stress on the regulators, leading to slow operation or complete failure to drop/rise.
