PEUGEOT 30082018 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on August 29, 2025 at 94,473 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of neglect in 2024. While the 2024 test highlighted multiple mechanical and consumable issues, the clean sheet from the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the flagged faults during the intervening year. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 20,561 miles between the August 2024 test at 73,912 miles and the August 2025 test at 94,473 miles. This high annual usage indicates consistent long-distance driving, which typically accelerates the wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the rear braking system due to the binding issues recorded in August 2024. The tester flagged a binding rear brake and thin offside rear pads, suggesting a potential seized caliper or uneven pad wear. Although the vehicle passed since, the mechanical integrity of the calipers and the condition of the discs require verification to ensure the fault has not returned. Additionally, the history of tyre failures, including cord damage in 2023 and edge wear in 2024, indicates a previous pattern of delaying consumable maintenance until it reached critical limits. Current tread depth and alignment should be checked to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing uneven tyre wear.
