I agree MAYDAY should only be used in case of imminent danger, otherwise it's a PAN.

Imminent would be to me the loss of an engine in a SEP, severe icing leading to descent, fire on board etc.

As long as you feel your airplane will be controllable till the landing (eg gear failure) it s a PAN in my view
