2016 MINI Paceman 1.6L Diesel · YM16 RSV

The 2016 MINI PACEMAN presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 31 October 2025 at 73,862 miles recording no defects. The test immediately prior on the same date at 73,857 miles failed with no defects listed, a clear administrative or documentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the preceding four years the vehicle passed every test cleanly, showing no advisories or recorded wear on suspension, brakes, exhaust, or structure. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,386 miles per year against the 73,862 miles now recorded. The DVSA data shows 54,708 miles at the 29 December 2022 test, rising to 61,656 by 6 December 2023, 67,448 by 13 November 2024, and 73,862 by October 2025. That is steady yearly use of six to seven thousand miles with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The record is sparse in faults but clean, offering no warning signs of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm prior attention. The same-day fail and pass in October 2025 merit scrutiny of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect or clerical error affects provenance. No recurring mechanical or structural trend emerges from the MOT data, and the lack of corrosion or binding caliper flags implies reasonable storage and use. Treat the clean record as a positive but verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition match the paper trail before purchase.
