2018 PEUGEOT 50081.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on drivetrain components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 65,718 miles identified a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft constant velocity boot. This is a recurring issue, first flagged during the September 2024 test at 54,707 miles, indicating that the previous owner failed to replace the component despite it being noted as a year prior. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the July 2022 and September 2023 tests where the car covered over 14,000 miles. Since 2023, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 8,000 miles recorded each annual interval. This relatively low annual mileage suggests short-distance use, though it does not necessarily exempt the vehicle from the wear seen on rubber components and braking hardware in the record. A buyer must personally inspect the nearside front drive shaft to ensure no grease has escaped from the torn boot, which would lead to imminent CV joint failure. The braking system also shows signs of reactive neglect. The 2023 record noted thin pads and worn discs, followed by a 2024 report of pitted and scored front discs. You should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs, as they appear to be approaching the end of their functional life.
