The MINI PACEMAN (2012-14) 3DR PACEMAN 2.0 SD DPF SS 143 EU5 COOPER S 6SPD is a distinctive three-door compact crossover: part sporty hatchback, part small SUV. In the UK it sits apart from family hatchbacks, offering MINI styling and a raised look, with limited rear access. mycarcheck.com records 456 checks covering 202 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this uncommon model. The average private-sale value is £5,100, with recorded mileage averaging 80,000 miles and annual use around 6,000 miles. Checks show about three previous keepers on average, helpful context when assessing a car’s history. The 2.0-litre diesel Cooper S suits commuters and couples seeking economical longer-distance driving, but is less suited to families needing easy rear-seat access. Its bold coupe-like shape, engaging MINI feel and stronger performance distinguish it from practical rivals such as the Nissan Juke, though condition and service history matter when buying used cars.
