2012 Peugeot Vivacity 0.0L Petrol · WA62 AEE

The Peugeot Vivacity last passed its MOT on 18 October 2022 at 10,710 miles, yet the DVSA log also records a failure on that identical date and mileage with no defects cited. This null-failure pattern repeats from late 2021, when a 28 September failure at 8,442 miles preceded a 6 October pass at 8,447 miles, again showing no faults. The maintenance trend reads as administratively erratic rather than mechanically worsening; the ledger carries zero advisories across all entries. Overall roadworthiness at the final examination appears acceptable on paper, but the duplicated pass-fail entries demand verification of the physical certificate and vehicle identity. Registered in 2012, the machine shows 10,710 miles over fourteen years, a mean of roughly 765 miles per year. Odometer progression stayed gentle: 6,432 miles on 2 July 2020, 8,442 by 28 September 2021, then 10,710 by 18 October 2022. No rapid accumulation appears. A stark gap now exists between that last test and today’s date in July 2026, leaving forty-five months without recorded inspection. The sparse, clean record implies light use or extended storage, while the same-day failures without recorded defects suggest previous ownership lapses in documentation rather than neglected tyres or wipers. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion at any stage. Prolonged dormancy implied by the 2022-to-2026 silence elevates the risk of binding calipers, perished seals, and moisture-driven rust unseen by MOT. A buyer should physically probe brake release after standing, inspect exhaust and frame for hidden corrosion, and confirm tyre sidewall condition despite absent advisories. Validate the V5C against the anomalous MOT pairs before purchase.
