2012 Peugeot ION Electric · AF62 RVC

The Peugeot Ion presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 22 January 2025 at 57,242 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects listed at that test. Prior to this, the car failed on 14 January 2025 at 57,233 miles yet the record shows no defects recorded against that failure, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred in October 2023, when the Ion failed on the 19th at 45,718 miles with no defects logged, then passed cleanly the next day at 45,724 miles. At roughly 14 years old the Ion shows 57,242 recorded miles, equating to about 4,089 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods off the road. Mileage moved from 35,547 in October 2022 to 45,724 by October 2023, then to 57,242 by January 2025, reflecting steady but modest annual accumulation of around 10,000 miles across the last two years. The clean advisories across all five entries indicate no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion, though the sparse record leaves limited insight into component condition between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the battery pack and high-voltage system, as MOT testing does not assess EV drivetrain health. The repeated fail-pass pairs with zero defects imply the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but may have used short-notice retests rather than planned maintenance. Given the low mileage and likely standing periods, check brake discs for corrosion and calipers for binding, and inspect suspension mounts and subframe for moisture-related degradation despite the absence of recorded advisories.
