2016 PEUGEOT 3081.6L Diesel

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend following a period of intermittent mechanical issues. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 105,458 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in December 2024, suggesting that previous mechanical failures have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 72,519 miles in May 2019 to the current 105,458 miles. While there is a notable gap in recorded testing between December 2021 and November 2024, the mileage increments during this period suggest the car remained in regular use rather than sitting idle. The MOT history highlights specific vulnerabilities in the suspension and lighting systems. In November 2020 at 86,819 miles, the tester flagged a track rod end ball joint with excessive play alongside several lighting failures. More significantly, the vehicle failed in November 2024 at 97,169 miles due to fractured coil springs on both the nearside and offside front. Although these issues were rectified for the subsequent pass, the recurrence of suspension component failure warrants a physical inspection of the front axle assembly. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends to ensure no further degradation has occurred since the 2024 repairs. While the most recent records are clean, the previous failures indicate that wear on steering and suspension components is a known factor for this vehicle. Checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear or steering play during a test drive would be a prudent step to confirm the effectiveness of the recent repairs.
