2015 MINI Paceman 1.6L Petrol · YW15 OFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 61,351 miles passed, the tester identified multiple defects across all four tyres. This represents a significant shift from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that basic maintenance of running components has been neglected in the most recent period of ownership. At 61,351 miles, this MINI Paceman reflects a low-use profile, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 1,900 miles driven between November 2024 and December 2023, and another 7,400 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, which aligns with the cracking and perishing noted on the rear tyres in the two most recent MOT tests. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyre condition, as the nearside front was recorded at just 1.6mm, which is at the legal limit. The recurring mentions of perishing and cracking across both 2024 and 2026 indicate that the rubber is failing due to age regardless of the remaining tread depth. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system which caused a failure in November 2022 should be verified to ensure the fault was fully rectified, as this system is critical for monitoring slow leaks common in aged tyres.
