The MINI PACEMAN (2012-14) 3DR PACEMAN 1.6 184 EU5 COOPER S MINI SPORT PACK AUTO6 is a sporty, three-door small crossover: part hatchback, part compact SUV, with distinctive MINI styling. In the UK market it is a niche alternative to conventional small family cars, offering a higher-riding look and more personality than an ordinary hatchback. With lively Cooper S performance and a six-speed automatic, it suits drivers wanting an engaging, easy-going daily car with a premium feel, rather than maximum space. The rear seats and boot are less practical than in a five-door crossover, so it is best for couples, singles or small households; its punchy engine and distinctive styling also make it appealing as a fun commuter or second car. Compared with rivals, it favours style and driving enjoyment over space. mycarcheck.com’s 108 checks across 34 VINs record averages of £7,200, 51,000 miles, 5,000 miles annually and 2.5 previous keepers.
