PEUGEOT 3082016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 recorded a failure due to front and rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened, alongside a nearside front suspension arm ball joint excessively worn . This indicates emerging mechanical issues that require immediate attention. The same date also shows a previous pass for the same vehicle, suggesting the defects may have developed rapidly or were overlooked in the earlier test. The history reveals a recurring pattern of brake disc wear and suspension component degradation . Brake disc issues were noted in both 2025-12-12 MOTs (passed and failed), while the suspension arm ball joint defect first appeared in the 2025-12-12 failure. Earlier MOTs in 2023 and 2025 showed no defects, but a 2023-12-11 failure cited a minor anti-roll bar dust cover issue, which was likely resolved before the 2025-01-07 pass. This suggests intermittent maintenance or progressive wear in critical areas. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,175 miles (roughly 7,418 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its age, but the recent suspension and brake issues imply accelerated wear or inadequate maintenance . While lower mileage could indicate periods of inactivity, the presence of multiple defects points to active use or neglect . The lack of major defects in earlier MOTs (2023-2025) contrasts with the 2025-12-12 failure, suggesting a worsening trend in mechanical condition.
