2017 Peugeot Bailey 2.0L Diesel · CU17 AWP

The 2017 Peugeot Bailey presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-09 assessment at 22,194 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the long interval between the 2024-04-26 test (20,863 miles) and 2025-05-09 test (22,194 miles) warrants scrutiny for potential overlooked wear. The vehicle’s low mileage of 22,194 over nine years equates to approximately 2,466 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through fluid stagnation, battery drain, or rubber aging. The sparse MOT data from 2022 to 2025, with gaps of up to 14 months, limits visibility into intermediate maintenance. However, the lack of defects in all recorded tests implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though deeper inspection is needed to confirm this. A buyer should prioritise checking for corrosion in the underbody and chassis, as low mileage can mask rust from standing. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be examined for age-related wear, while the brake system requires scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, given the potential for hidden corrosion. Additionally, verifying service records for timing belt or water pump replacements—components often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles—would provide clarity on long-term reliability.
