Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage diesel MINI Paceman. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with no recorded defects in the last two years.
Given the low mileage of 37,095 miles, you should verify if the vehicle has had regular oil changes, as diesel engines of this era benefit significantly from consistent maintenance. Check the service book to see if the intervals align with the mileage recorded in the MOT history.
When viewing the car, inspect the diesel particulate filter (DPF) status. Because this car has been driven relatively low miles, it may have been used for short urban trips, which can sometimes lead to DPF issues. Ask the seller if the car is frequently used for longer motorway journeys to ensure the exhaust system is being cleared regularly.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Paceman should offer respectable fuel economy, particularly for long-distance driving. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the specific insurance group, but the 1598cc engine typically falls into a moderate bracket for this class of vehicle.
Maintenance costs for MINI models can be higher than mainstream brands due to parts pricing. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, such as fuel filter changes and brake inspections, which are reflected in the clean MOT results seen in 2024 and 2025.
Focus your inspection on the underside and suspension components. Although the 2024 and 2025 MOTs recorded no defects, the 2023 failure indicates that components can occasionally fall out of compliance. Check for any signs of weeping from the engine or gearbox.
Since the most recent MOT at 37,095 miles showed no defects, the vehicle appears to be in a stable state regarding its legal roadworthiness. However, always check the tyre tread depth and condition, as well as the brake pad wear, which are common items that can lead to MOT advisories or failures.
This 2016 Red MINI Paceman has covered 37,095 miles, which is relatively low for a vehicle nearly ten years old. The MOT history is largely clean, with the most recent three tests passing without any recorded defects. While there was a failure recorded in November 2023, the vehicle has since maintained a defect-free record through its 2024 and 2025 inspections.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the MINI Paceman.
