2015 MINI Paceman 1.6L Petrol · EO65 NFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 63,302 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and perishing on both front tyres. This contrasts sharply with the clean records from previous years, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related degradation is manifesting despite the low overall mileage. At eleven years old, the MINI Paceman has averaged approximately 5,755 miles per year, a figure that is significantly below the national average for its age. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 5,500 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,500 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage often leads to components failing due to time rather than wear, evidenced by the dry rot on the tyres noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the tyres, as the 2025 advisory indicates the rubber is cracking and perishing regardless of the remaining tread depth. The thin rear brake pads also noted in that same test require an immediate check of the rear discs to ensure no glazing or pitting has occurred. Given the lack of defects in 2022 and 2024, the structural integrity appears sound, but the buyer should still verify the suspension bushings for signs of cracking, which can occur on vehicles that sit for long periods.
