That is not for me on the ground to determine I am not in the aircraft ,this is the PIC job. MAYDAY is about giving priority and getting the frequency quiet. . The degree of the emergency is not immediately relevant , this can be done in" free text" afterwards,
PAN will not give you any priority, just indicating to ATC you have problem which might be elevated to a MAYDAY later.
Am surprised we are even discussing this , this is basic stuff. everyone should know.
For those that need to refresh their memory, or just want to learn something , the ICAO phraseology guide can be found here :
