2014 PEUGEOT 3081.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on August 27 2025 at 118,786 miles. The maintenance history shows an improving trend after a period of significant neglect in mid-2023. While the car previously suffered multiple mechanical and consumable failures, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding issues and maintained a standard of upkeep since. At 118,786 miles over 12 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family hatchback. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 12,000 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 15,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and the latest test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber-based components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during a physical inspection. The August 2023 failure highlighted deteriorating rear front lower arm rubber bushes and worn track rod ends. While these were reportedly rectified, Peugeot components of this era are prone to bushing wear at this mileage. Check for lateral play in the steering or audible knocks when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure the previous repairs have held up under load. The braking system also shows a history of rapid wear, with thin pads flagged on both axles in August 2023. Given that nearly 27,000 miles have passed since that advisory, inspect the remaining pad life and the discs for pitting or uneven wear. Additionally, the front tyres were flagged for edge-wear in both 2023 and 2024. Verify the current tread depth and alignment to ensure no lingering geometry issues are causing premature scrubbing of the new tyres.
