PEUGEOT 5082020 · 1.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT from May 2026 was a pass, but it recorded two advisories: a windscreen chip and a defective rear exhaust mounting. This is consistent with the car's history of minor, recurring faults rather than any serious safety failures. The recurring mechanical pattern is dominated by the windscreen damage, which has been noted at every single MOT since 2023. This is a long-standing chip that has not worsened enough to fail the test, but it remains a cosmetic and potential future repair. The 2025 test added a worn front tyre advisory, and the 2026 test introduced a new exhaust mounting defect. No major components—such as brakes, suspension, or steering—have failed any inspection. The overall condition trend appears stable with a slight worsening. The core mechanical items have stayed clean, but the emergence of a new exhaust mounting issue and the persistent screen damage suggest that secondary parts are beginning to age. The windscreen chip itself has not spread significantly, so the risk is low but not zero. The mileage is high for a six-year-old car at roughly 17,400 miles per year.
