2015 MINI Paceman 1.6L Petrol · RO15 KFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition following a period of clean inspections. While it passed its latest MOT in December 2025 at 83,270 miles, this followed a significant failure just nine days prior at 83,204 miles. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to a list of defects in late 2025 indicates that the car has recently entered a phase of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. recorded mileage of 83,270 miles over 11 years reflects an average usage of approximately 7,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-intensity urban driving. However, the vehicle covered 7,769 miles between November 2024 and December 2025, showing a slight increase in usage compared to previous years. This recent mileage accumulation coincides with the appearance of multiple wear-related faults, such as the thinning brake pads noted in November 2023 and the degraded tyres and pitted brake discs identified in the December 2025 tests. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame, as the tester flagged corrosion in December 2025. While not yet seriously weakened, structural rust on these components requires close monitoring to prevent future structural failure. The presence of corrosion on both nearside and offside rear coil springs suggests the vehicle has been exposed to salt-heavy environments. Furthermore, the reported oil leak and coolant leak in the most recent test require a professional diagnosis to ensure they are merely minor seeps rather than signs of failing engine head gaskets or cooling system degradation.
