PEUGEOT 2082013 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history shows a trend of intermittent mechanical issues. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 41,401 miles passed with no defects, the car failed just three miles prior due to high carbon monoxide emissions. This indicates a combustion efficiency or sensor issue that was addressed immediately before the retest, suggesting the owner is reactive to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance on the engine health. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered only 2,129 miles in thirteen months. This low-frequency use often leads to reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it increases the risk of rubber components degrading and fluids decontaminating which is evidenced by the perishing front tyres noted in the January 2024 test. A buyer must scrutinise the front braking system and rubberwork components. The January 2024 failure at 36,831 miles highlighted pitted front brake discs and an excessively fluctuating offside front brake, which often points to seized calipers or uneven rotor wear from long stationary periods. Given the previous record of cracking and perishing tyres, a physical inspection should check for sidewall cracking on all four tyres regardless of remaining tread depth. The emission failure in February 2026 also warrants a check of the oxygen sensors and spark plugs to ensure the engine remains stable and efficient.
