2020 Peugeot Bailey 2.0L Diesel · YX20 BBN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car passed its June 2026 test at 12,934 miles, the tester flagged two advisories regarding the nearside rear tyre and low parking brake performance. These issues represent a departure from the clean records seen in the three preceding tests, suggesting that low-usage patterns may be causing certain components to seize or degrade over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,156 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between February 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered only 621 miles in sixteen months, followed by a busier period of 5,413 miles between July 2024 and June 2026. This erratic pattern of intermittent use often leads to the perishing of rubber components and corrosion on brake mechanisms, which aligns with the recent findings in the latest MOT record. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the parking brake system to ensure the low performance noted in June 2026 is not due to seized caliper or a stretched adjustment cable. The nearside rear tyre requires immediate replacement if sidewall cracking is present, as low-mileage vehicles suffer from rot despite adequate tread depth. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface pitting and the tyres for flat spots, common occurrences when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods.
