2018 PEUGEOT 30081.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent minor component failures. The most recent test in April 2026 at 68,853 miles passed with only a minor failure for an inoperative nearside rear plate lamp. This represents a significant improvement over the 2024 inspection where multiple wear-related defects were noted, suggesting that the current owner is actively addressing safety items once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 32,790 miles and the 2026 test at 68,853 miles, the car covered over 36,000 miles, indicating regular and predictable use. There are no unexplained gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which helps mitigate the risk of seized calipers or dry corrosion in rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as the 2024 record highlighted thin brake pads on both rear axles and uneven wear on both front tyres. While these appear to have been addressed given the clean sheet in 2025, the edge wear on the tyres previously suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that warrants verification. Additionally, check the current state of the rear registration lamp to ensure the April 2026 failure was rectified with a functional bulb replacement.
