2011 Peugeot ION Electric · AE11 AMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward addressing age-related material degradation. The most recent test on August 28 2025 at 52,345 miles passed following a failure just one day prior for incorrect headlamp aim. While the headlamp issue was rectified, the persistent advisory for corrosion on the rear suspension component mounting area has appeared consistently since 2023, indicating that while the car is not currently failing, the structural oxidation is actively progressing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between 2015 and 2019, where the car covered under 9,000 miles in four years. This low mileage explains the relatively low wear on drivetrain components but often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber-based parts. The record shows intermittent issues with wiper blades and pitted brake discs, which are typical of vehicles sitting for long periods rather than high-mile driving. A buyer must focus their inspection on the structural integrity of the inner sills and suspension mounting points. The tester flagged corrosion in the seat belt anchorage area in 2023 and continued to flag the rear suspension mounts through 2025. Although these were not deemed excessive, the recurring nature of the rust suggests a risk of future structural thinning. Additionally, the history of pitted front discs and a lagging rear caliper in 2022 indicates the braking system may be prone to seizing and should be checked for seized calipers or perished fluid due to low use.
