2016 MINI Paceman 1.6L Diesel · YL66 CDO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 December 2025 at 78,846 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum standard. This follows a trend of consistent passes over the last five years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained without major structural or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 35,426 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive heavy-duty. The 6,115 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with regular annual driving, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with sitting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the December in December 2024 test at 72,731 miles flagged a worn front brake disc. While this was rectified before the subsequent test, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of the current pads and check for any uneven wear or thinning on the rotors. The 2021 advisory regarding a nail in the nearside front tyre is a minor consumable issue, but it highlights the need to inspect the current tyre set for uneven wear patterns on the inner edges. Given the age of the Paceman, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable. Although the MOT record has not flagged any structural corrosion or suspension failures, vehicles of this era are prone to wear in the undercarriage over time. The lack of advisories in the most recent tests is a positive sign of structural integrity, provided the chassis remains free of significant rust upon physical inspection.
