2012 PEUGEOT 5082.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 11 March 2026 at 173,424 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is high for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 12,387 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 164,483 miles and the March 2026 test at 173,424 miles, the car covered 8,941 miles. This indicates steady, regular use rather than periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests is unusual for a vehicle with 173,424 miles. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is also recommended, as the record provides no data on previous rust issues. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for thinning and the drivetrain for excessive play is prudent. The record shows no history of binding calipers or exhaust emissions failures, but the lack of any recorded wear on consumables over three years suggests a very disciplined maintenance regime or a lenient testing history.
