PEUGEOT 30082020 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 47,488 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional washer and a front tyre reaching the legal limit. While the car passed immediately upon rectification, the recurring failures suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they are flagged by a testing centre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 27,388 miles and the March 2025 test at 40,719 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, showing higher-than-average usage during that period before settling to 6,700 miles in the following year. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which generally prevents the internal degradation of components associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment specifically, as the April 2026 failure for a front tyre worn specifically on the outer edges often points to incorrect camber geometry or worn wishbone bushes. The previous 2025 failure regarding headlamp aim also indicates that the vehicle may have experienced impacts or vibrations that shifted the lighting assemblies. Checking the washer system pump and jets is necessary to ensure the repair was fully effective, as this appeared as a recurring fault across two separate testing years.
