2017 Peugeot Bailey 2.0L Diesel · CU17 AVB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-07 at 17,964 miles recorded a pass, but a conflicting fail entry on the same date complicates interpretation. Previous tests from 2024-10-03 (14,807 miles) and 2023-10-02 (10,729 miles) showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The lack of recorded issues in the last three years suggests consistent compliance, though the duplicate fail entry raises questions about data accuracy. The car’s mileage of 17,964 miles over nine years equates to approximately 1,996 miles annually, significantly below average. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation, which can lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as corrosion in the exhaust system or seized suspension bushes. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, but the absence of mileage progression details between 2022-09-14 (6,944 miles) and 2023-10-02 (10,729 miles) suggests potential gaps in recorded data. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust in the underbody and chassis, given the low mileage. Inspect the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low-mileage vehicles may develop uneven wear. Confirm the exhaust system’s condition, as stagnant operation can cause internal rust. The conflicting MOT records necessitate cross-referencing with DVSA archives to validate the 2025 test outcome.
