2015 PEUGEOT 2081.2L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 recorded a failure at 50,956 miles, meaning the vehicle is not presently roadworthy until the highlighted defects are rectified. The test flagged a near‑side rear tyre worn to the legal limit, a worn lower suspension arm pin, a non‑excessive oil leak, an inoperative engine MIL indicator, a faulty near‑side registration plate lamp, and an incorrect headlamp aim, indicating a trend of accumulating issues rather than a stabilising pattern. Mileage has risen from 7,075 miles in March 2018 to 50,956 miles in March 2026, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year over the life of the car. Early years show modest annual increases of 1,400‑2,500 miles, but the period from March 2024 to March 2026 added over 21,000 miles, suggesting a recent escalation in usage. No significant mileage gaps appear; the record is consistently populated, which supports the view that the low overall figure reflects genuine low‑kilometre use rather than unrecorded mileage. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre tread and sidewall condition on both near‑side and off‑side wheels, confirming they are not close to the legal limit and are free of cracking. The lower suspension arm bushings merit a hands‑on check for excessive play, and the oil leak should be inspected for source and severity. Verify that the registration plate lamp operates correctly and that headlamp aim and lens integrity meet specification. The engine MIL warning light must be investigated, and the front brake discs, noted as pitted in the 2024 test, should be measured for thickness. Finally, a visual survey for corrosion on chassis and suspension components will confirm the structural integrity implied by the MOT history.
