MINI PACEMAN Uncommon

As of 2026 Q2, 9,700 MINI PACEMANs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 10,236 in 2019 Q4 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 536 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 111 a year (1.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2086 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
