PEUGEOT 3082016 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward worsening wear-related defects. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 100,344 miles passed, it introduced several advisories absent in previous years. The appearance of pitted front brake discs and fluctuating rear service brakes indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life, marking a departure from the clean record seen in the 2025 test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 12,291 miles, representing a period of higher usage. However, the interval between March 2024 and March 2026 saw an accumulation of 14,406 miles over two years. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and moisture-related corrosion. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking assembly and tyre condition. The March 2026 test flagged worn front discs and fluctuating rear brakes, which often indicates warped rotors or sticking calipers that require attention. Furthermore, the recurring issue of tyres worn to the legal limit or edges across 2024 and 2026 suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The buyer must specifically check for uneven tyre wear which could point to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
