PEUGEOT 2082016 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test in September 2025 at 34,825 miles resulted in a pass with a single minor for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This represents a trivial electrical fault that does not indicate mechanical or structural failure. Prior to this, the vehicle recorded clean results for three consecutive years, suggesting a high standard of maintenance during its recent operation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 5,601 miles in 2021 to 34,825 miles in 2025. This low usage typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, the long intervals between miles can sometimes lead to rubber-based degradation, as evidenced by the 2021 advisory at 5,601 miles where the tester flagged tyre cracking and perishing. A buyer should prioritize the physical condition of the tyres and rubber components, as low mileage often masks the risk of dry rot rather than tread wear. Because the car has likely sat for extended periods between uses, an inspection of the brake calipers for seized pistons or rusted discs is necessary. The record lacks any history of structural corrosion or suspension failure, which suggests the chassis remains well-preserved, but the suspension bushes and bushings should be checked for signs of age- cracking typical of low-use vehicles.
