PEUGEOT 2082018 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 98,466 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period where recurring mechanical and consumable wear was identified. While earlier tests highlighted issues with suspension and brakes, the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the flagged faults from the previous testing cycles. The car has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a consistent pattern of high usage between tests, notably the 7,900-mile interval recorded between January 2025 and February 2026. This high annual mileage indicates the vehicle has been used for regular motor road travel, which typically places higher stress on the drivetrain and rubber-related suspension components compared to lower-mileage city cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and the braking system due to historical failures. The 2024 test at 85,856 miles identified a worn offside front suspension arm bush and pitted rear brake discs. While these appear to have been rectified, the tester should check for any new play in the steering geometry or binding calipers. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding perishing tyres on the rear axle suggests that despite the high mileage, the rubber compound may be reaching age limit, necessitating a close check of sidewalls for cracking.
