2019 Peugeot Belville 0.1L Petrol · DG19 UVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards component wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in April 2025 at 21,312 miles identified several mechanical de-gradations that were absent in the previous year. While the vehicle passed, the presence of pitted and scored front and rear brake discs, along with a bent offside front brake lever, indicates that the braking system is beginning to deteriorate due to age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,045 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2023 and May 2024 where the car covered only 5,693 miles in over thirteen months. This low usage likely explains the failure in May 2024 at 15,565 miles where rear brake pads were found below the legal limit. Long periods of standing often lead to surface corrosion on metal components, which aligns with the pitting observed on discs despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system in person. The 2025 record flagged fluctuating brake effort and surface disc damage, suggesting that the calipers may be seizing or reacting poorly to inactivity. The 2024 failure regarding lighting switches and bulbs also indicates that basic electrical upkeep may have been neglected. Given the low mileage, check the rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking or perish rot, as these materials degrade over time rather than through mechanical wear.
