2020 PEUGEOT 5082.0L Diesel

The 23 July 2026 MOT at 79,245 miles passed, but the offside front wheel bearing showed slight play, indicating a maintenance trend that is worsening rather than stable. Earlier tests in 2023 and 2025 recorded no bearing issue, suggesting emerging faults that have not been addressed. The mileage pattern is high for a 2020 model, averaging about 13,200 miles per year. The jump from 43,606 miles in July 2023 to 53,327 miles in July 2024 (9,721 miles) and to 68,356 miles in July 2025 (15,029 miles) demonstrates rapid accumulation, especially between 2024 and 2025, with only a modest increase to 79,245 miles in July 2026. A buyer should inspect the offside front wheel bearing for play, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, and check the condition of the brake discs and pads. The recurring tyre cracking noted in 2024 and the previous wiper blade defect suggest a need to assess tyre tread depth and replace any perished rubber components. Structural rust on the chassis and underbody, as well as the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, should also be examined. While the car met the minimum emission and structural criteria in the latest test, the documented faults point to accelerated wear on key mechanical components, making a thorough in‑person inspection essential before purchase.
