2012 Peugeot ION Electric · WL62 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 at 54,559 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2025-01-03 (51,751 miles) and 2024-01-11 (49,754 miles) also passed, though a failed test on 2024-01-10 at the same mileage showed no recorded defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance without significant mechanical issues, though the repeated testing at identical mileages raises questions about potential data duplication or unresolved minor faults. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle remains roadworthy, but the pattern of testing warrants closer scrutiny. The car’s mileage of 54,559 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 3,897 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notably, the 2023-01-11 test (46,353 miles) shows a 3,401-mile increase by 2024-01-11, followed by a 1,997-mile rise to 2025-01-03. These gaps suggest irregular usage, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs if the vehicle was left stationary for extended periods. The sparse defect history and lack of recurring issues indicate the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though the low mileage may mask wear in systems not regularly exercised. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can lead to stiffness in these parts. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often develop in underused vehicles. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody should also be assessed, as prolonged inactivity increases rust risk. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern and testing frequency suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
