2014 Peugeot Unknown 2.2L Diesel · AW02 ROY

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 29 September 2025 at 26,445 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 26 September 2024 at 24,814 miles also passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent upkeep over the last two years. The record shows no recurring mechanical faults, structural corrosion, or emissions failures, which suggests the car has been maintained to a competent standard rather than simply patched through its MOT. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging roughly 2,204 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 22,471 miles and the September 2025 test at 26,445 miles, the car covered just under 4,000 miles across nearly three years. This pattern points to very light use or potentially long periods of standing. While low mileage generally reduces wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, prolonged inactivity can cause its own issues, including seized calipers, perished rubber components, and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as short journeys and standing time can accelerate moisture-related rust even on low-mileage cars. Check the tyre dates and sidewalls for cracking, and verify that the handbrake and footbrake operate without binding, given the minimal mileage. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be examined for internal deterioration, as infrequent use can lead to condensation build-up and premature corrosion. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the low annual mileage warrants a careful physical inspection to confirm the car has not suffered from neglect through inactivity.
