2015 MINI Paceman 1.6L Petrol · DP65 HLA

The MINI PACEMAN presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 28 November 2025 at 57,214 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the available history reads stable. The vehicle passed on 22 November 2022 at 40,218 miles, on 27 November 2023 at 45,512 miles, and again on 26 November 2024 at 52,436 miles, all with clean sheets. A lone failure appears on 14 November 2024 at 52,022 miles yet carries no listed defects, an irregularity that resolves quickly with the subsequent pass twelve days later. Mileage accumulation sits low for an eleven-year-old vehicle. From the 2022 test at 40,218 miles to the 2023 test at 45,512 miles the car covered 5,294 miles. The following year shows 6,924 miles added by November 2024, then a reduced 4,778 miles to the 2025 test. Annual averages hover near 5,200 miles, implying gentle use or extended stationary periods. The record lacks major gaps but remains sparse, with only five entries spanning the lifespan; such low utilization often spares consumables yet can conceal intermittent corrosion or perished rubber through inactivity. No recurring mechanical faults or advisories surface in the official data, so the buyer faces no flagged systemic weaknesses. Still, an eleven-year-old chassis demands in-person scrutiny of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not always caught in a pass. The unexplained fail on 14 November 2024 with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure rationale, as it may indicate a documentation error or non-mechanical rejection such as identification mismatch. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with the clean passes suggesting routine presentation rather than deferred upkeep. Given the low mileage, inspect underneath for structural rust and exhaust emissions integrity, and verify tyre sidewall condition after possible long standing. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent despite the unblemished recent record.
