Mini Paceman
The Mini Paceman is the rare, 3-door coupe variant of the larger Countryman, offering unique styling in a familiar package. It's an affordable and uncommon modern Mini that appeals to enthusiasts looking for something different from the standard lineup.
Typical sold price of a Mini Paceman ranges from $3,500 to $13,472, based on 202 sales tracked on Hypercars. 143 currently for sale.
The Mini Paceman (R61) was a bold attempt to create a new niche, blending the high-riding stance of the Countryman with the sporty profile of a 3-door coupe. Produced from 2013 to 2016, it shared its platform and powertrain options with the R60 Countryman, including front-wheel drive or ALL4 all-wheel drive, and engines ranging from the base Cooper to the turbocharged 208 hp John Cooper Works. The Paceman's distinctive sloping roofline and unique rear-end styling set it apart, but it didn't find a large audience, leading to a short production run and low sales figures.
Today, the Paceman's rarity is its biggest draw for collectors and enthusiasts. It's an oddball in the modern Mini lineup, which gives it a certain appeal for those who want something different. The market is still firmly in affordable used car territory, with an average transaction price under $14,000. Low-mileage John Cooper Works ALL4 models are the most desirable and command the highest prices, but even these remain accessible compared to other limited-production performance cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for oil leaks around the turbo oil feed lines, oil filter housing, and valve cover gasket, especially on Cooper S and JCW models with the N18 engine.
- The high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) is a known failure point. Look for signs of hesitation during acceleration or a check engine light, and review service records for a replacement.
- On ALL4 models, listen for any groaning or binding from the drivetrain during tight turns, which could indicate issues with the transfer case or rear differential.
- On cold starts, listen for the 'death rattle' indicating a worn timing chain and tensioners. This is a well-documented issue with this engine family.
- Inspect the interior for water leaks. Check for dampness in the footwells and trunk, as seals for the doors, sunroof, and rear hatch can fail.
