2016 Peugeot Kisbee 0.0L Petrol · FX66 BBE

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical maintenance, evidenced by the most recent test on 9 February 2024. While the vehicle passed after an initial failure, the tester identified a minor exhaust gas leak and excessive exhaust noise. This represents a decline in condition compared to the 2020 and 2021 tests, which recorded no defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, with only 4,412 miles recorded at the February 2024 test. This averages approximately 441 miles per year, suggesting the vehicle spends significant periods stationary. The data shows a gap of nearly two years between the August 2022 test at 3,393 miles and the February 2024 test at 4,412 miles. Such infrequent use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine the severity of the leak and the cause of the noise, as this could indicate failing gaskets or structural corrosion in the manifold. The 2022 advisory regarding the need for two new tyres remains a concern if they have not been replaced, as tyres can suffer from flat-spotting or perishing due to long periods of inactivity. Check all lighting systems, specifically the dipped beam headlamps, to ensure the 2024 failure was fully rectified. Given the history of minor electrical failures like the horn in January 2020 and the headlamp in 2024, a thorough check of the battery health and electrical connections is advisable to rule out issues stemming from the vehicle's low-use pattern.
