2015 MINI Paceman 1.6L Diesel · Y2 ATE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test on 16 June 2026 at 77,347 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just ten days prior due to significant wear-related issues. The tester flagged pitted rear brake discs and pads with less than 1.5mm of material remaining, suggesting the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2024 at 63,917 miles and June 2024 at 65,748 miles, representing only 1,800 miles driven in five months. However, the vehicle then covered 11,599 miles in the year between June 2024 and June 2025. This recent increase in usage aligns with the accelerated wear seen on the braking components noted in the latest failure report. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a recurring trend of thinning pads and worn discs across both 2024 and 2026. The pitting on the rear discs suggests potential corrosion or long periods of inactivity, which can lead to caliper binding. Furthermore, the repeated failure of the offside registration plate lamp in both 2024 and 2026 indicates a lack of attention to minor electrical defects. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for uneven wear, as these have not been flagged yet but are common points of failure on this model at this mileage.
