PEUGEOT 1082020 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has stabilized following an early mechanical failure. The most recent test in September 2025 at 17,782 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester noted a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This follows a successful pass in 2024 where minor brake wear was identified, indicating that the vehicle is maintaining basic operational standards despite previous issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Data shows a gap of 3,293 miles between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 2,518 miles over the following year. While low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long periods of standing can lead to specific issues such as brake corrosion or fluid degradation, which aligns with the pitting found on the front brake disc recorded during the 2024 inspection. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system specifically, as the 2024 record flagged the nearside front inner brake disc as being pitted or scored. While this was not a failure at the time, it suggests exposure to moisture or infrequent use common in low-mileage vehicles. The failure in 2023 regarding a high exhaust lambda reading was resolved quickly, but the fuel system and oxygen sensors should be monitored to ensure the engine remains efficient within specified parameters. Additionally, the child seat must be removed during any future inspection to allow for a thorough check of the seat belt tension and mounting points.
