2014 MINI Paceman 1.6L Diesel · LD64 OEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑19 at 136 620 miles with only minor defects recorded. The tester flagged the offside front seat‑belt buckle as slightly damaged, a nearside front tyre showing inner‑edge wear, and a rear child seat that obstructs full inspection of the adult belt. The maintenance trend is stable: recurring seat‑belt buckle damage appears across several tests, while other issues such as brake‑pad wear in 2020 and the registration‑plate lamp fault in 2023 have not reappeared, indicating that major systems have been reasonably maintained. Mileage progression follows a steady pattern. From 64 983 miles in November 2017 the odometer reached 136 620 miles by August 2025, an increase of roughly 71 637 miles over about 7.8 years, averaging around 9 200 miles annually. This rate is within the expected range for a 12‑year‑old vehicle, and the interval between MOT tests remained consistent, with no significant gaps that would suggest neglect. A buyer should inspect the offside front seat‑belt buckle for damage, check the nearside front tyre for uneven inner‑edge wear that may point to alignment or suspension problems, and verify that the rear child‑seat fitting does not impede inspection of the adult belt. The registration‑plate lamp should be tested for operation, and the flexible stalk condition examined. Although recent brake‑pad wear has not been reported, a visual check of the pads and discs is prudent, as is examining suspension bushes and the exhaust for corrosion. The age and mileage also warrant a thorough look for rust around wheel arches and underbody panels. Overall the mechanical condition shows a stable pattern with only minor, recurring faults. The consistent mileage growth and regular MOT intervals suggest the vehicle has been kept on the road legally, but the accumulated wear demands a careful pre‑purchase inspection of high‑stress consumables and any signs of structural corrosion.
