Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on an exce
When inspecting this Paceman, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.6L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical health. Verify that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained, especially if the car has been used for short city trips, as this is a common consideration for diesel models of this age.
Given the clean MOT record, negotiate based on the total mileage, which is higher than the model average. Check for any evidence of interior wear consistent with nearly 95,000 miles, and ensure all electronic accessories are functioning correctly, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
The 1598cc diesel engine typically offers better fuel economy than the petrol equivalents, making it suitable for longer commutes. However, buyers should check the specific CO2 emissions for this 2014 model to determine the exact annual VED (road tax) bracket, as diesel taxes have changed over the years.
Insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, but the Paceman generally sits in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though the estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is likely to be between £1,200 and £1,600.
Despite the absence of defects in the recent MOT history, you should specifically check the areas where other Pacemans commonly fail. Inspect the tyre tread depths and the condition of the brake pads, as these are the top failure reasons for this model across 8,218 analysed vehicles. Check the headlamps for any clouding or moisture ingress.
Perform a cold start to listen for any unusual engine noise and check the exhaust for excessive smoke, which can indicate diesel-specific wear. Finally, inspect the bodywork for any age-related corrosion or scratches that would not be flagged as an MOT failure but affect the vehicle's overall value.
This blue 2014 MINI Paceman diesel presents a very consistent profile, with 94,873 miles recorded as of June 2026. Its MOT history is notably clean, showing five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 with no defects or advisories listed. While the mileage is above the model average, the lack of recorded test failures makes it a standout example of this variant.
The MINI Paceman has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 87.7%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
