2018 Peugeot Django 0.2L Petrol · EF18 HRM

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a pass on 14th July 2025 at 14,988 miles. The tester flagged a minor advisory regarding the steering headbearing, noting it felt slightly stiff or notchy. This indicates early wear in the steering head bearings, a component subject to stress during low-speed manoeuvres, but it does not yet constitute a failure. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring serious mechanical failures recorded across the timeline. The recorded mileage of 14,988 miles translates to roughly 1,874 miles per year, marking this vehicle as exceptionally low mileage for its 2018 registration. Between 18th March 2022 at 12,220 miles and 4th March 2023 at 12,426 miles, the vehicle covered just 206 miles over a twelve-month period. A similar pattern emerges between 2024 and 2025, where the odometer moved only 1,051 miles. Such sporadic use suggests prolonged periods of standing, which can cause flat-spotting on tyres and corrosion on brake discs despite the low overall distance. A physical inspection should focus on the components most affected by infrequent use and the flagged advisory. Check the steering head bearings for smooth operation, as the notchy feel recorded in July 2025 could worsen if neglected. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, a common issue when vehicles stand idle for extended durations. The April 2024 failure for severely reduced headlight intensity and an untestable headlamp aim warrants a close inspection of the headlamp lenses for hazing or moisture ingress, alongside checking the condition of the central rear tyre, which previously failed for low tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs also merit close scrutiny, as rubber components can perish from age and standing rather than mileage alone.
