Our Verdict
A sensible and used MINI Paceman with a consistent MOT record and relatively low mileage. It is a safe bet for those looking for a unique crossover without recent mechanical failures.
When inspecting this Paceman, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.6cc engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, as the MOT record only reflects safety and emissions checks. Since the most recent MOT had no recorded defects, check for any minor advisories that might have been noted in previous years to indicate upcoming wear items.
Ask for a full service history to verify that oil changes have been performed regularly, as this is vital for this engine type. Given the age, also check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, which can wear faster on vehicles in this weight bracket.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine typically falls into a moderate insurance group and should offer around 35-45 MPG depending on driving style. Tax will vary based on the specific CO2 emissions recorded for this Paceman model.
Maintenance costs for MINIs are generally higher than for standard hatchbacks due to premium parts and labour. You should budget for an annual cost that covers fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
The MOT history shows one failure in September 2023 at 64,757 miles, but as the specific reason was not detailed in the provided summary, you should visually inspect the brakes, suspension bushings, and tyres to ensure no recurring issues have developed since then.
Check the interior for any signs of oil leaks, which is a common point of interest for engines of this era. Ensure the gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears, as the Paceman's weight puts significant strain on the drivetrain.
This 2015 MINI Paceman sits at approximately 73,700 miles, which is consistent with its age. The vehicle shows a very clean record in its recent history, with the last three MOT tests passing with no defects recorded following a single failure back in September 2023. The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and practicality for a larger-than-average MINI body style.
No aggregate data is available for the MINI Paceman, but the 1.6L petrol engine requires consistent documented maintenance.

- 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.
