2015 Peugeot Approach 2.2L Diesel · LK15 AEE

This Peugeot Approach has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent cycle ending on 14 July 2025. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, as evidenced by the absence of recurring issues or escalating failures. The most recent test, conducted just over a year ago at 48,793 miles, confirms compliance with all DVSA standards for brakes, emissions, suspension, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of deferred maintenance or systematic neglect in the record, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes or coil springs—given the vehicle’s age. The mileage progression suggests unusually light usage for a car of this age, with an average of just 4,436 miles per year over the past five years. Between the 2021 and 2022 tests, the vehicle accumulated only 4,375 miles in 14 months, a period where many cars would exceed 10,000 miles annually. This prolonged low-mileage phase could imply extended periods of storage, which may accelerate degradation in fluids, seals, and rubber components. Conversely, the consistent mileage increments—without sudden spikes—rule out aggressive driving or neglectful maintenance patterns. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the lack of advisories in prior tests might mask uneven tread or internal damage from prolonged low-use. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop hidden rust over time. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be confirmed, as stagnation can lead to contamination or failure.
