PEUGEOT 1082015 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on critical components. The most recent test in June 2025 at 28,026 miles passed despite several recurring mechanical advisories that have persisted across multiple years. While the car consistently passes its MOT, the persistence of brake imbalance issues and deteriorating rubber components suggests a pattern of only addressing faults at the minimum level required to pass the test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2021 at 22,227 miles and June 2022 at 23,836 miles, where the car covered only 1,600 miles. This low usage explains the physical degradation of rubber-based parts, such as the tyres and anti-roll bar dust covers, which suffer from age-related oxidation rather than mileage-related tread wear. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The front brake discs have been flagged for pitting and scoring since 2022, and the rear service brake imbalance has reached a critical limit in both 2024 and 2025, indicating likely seized calipers or worn cylinders that require professional attention. Furthermore, the front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers have been severely deteriorated since 2023; if these have not been replaced, moisture will enter the joints, leading to premature failure and steering instability. The tyres also show signs of perishing and cracking, which is a direct consequence of low-mileage vehicles sitting for extended periods.
