2009 Peugeot 1.4L Diesel · EA59 SZE

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, with the most recent test on 29 October 2025 resulting in a pass after a failure two days prior. While the 2025 result shows no defects, the record indicates a recurring cycle of failures and passes in 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle can meet minimum standards, it frequently requires remedial work to pass the annual inspection. The recorded mileage of 54,369 miles is low for a 2009 model, averaging approximately 3,198 miles per year. This low usage pattern can often lead to specific issues related to vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. The MOT data provided does not show specific mileage increments for each individual test, making it difficult to track exact annual distance accumulation, but the total figure confirms a low-use profile. Because the MOT records for 2024 and 2025 both contain failures without specific defect descriptions in this summary, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the nature of these recurring issues. A buyer should specifically examine the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that often affect low-mileage cars, such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or corrosion on suspension bushes and exhaust systems. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent pass is a positive indicator of current compliance, but the history of failures suggests that mechanical or structural issues have surfaced repeatedly in recent years. Thoroughly checking the underside for structural rust and testing all electrical components is advised to ensure no underlying faults were addressed only temporarily to secure a pass.
