2015 Peugeot Metropolis 0.4L Petrol · HJ65 RYN

The Metropolis presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 13 January 2023 at 25,664 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history. A single failure on 17 November 2022 at 25,651 miles is notable, yet the tester recorded no defects, indicating the fail likely stemmed from administrative or presentation issues rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle. From the 28 September 2019 test at 14,157 miles to the 19 November 2021 test at 18,038 miles, the machine covered just under 3,900 miles across over two years. The gap between the November 2021 pass and the November 2022 failure shows only 7,613 miles added in that year, with a mere 13 miles separating the failed and passed tests weeks apart. Such low annual use, roughly 2,333 miles per year, suggests prolonged standing periods rather than regular daily running. Given the sparse and clean record, no recurring suspension, brake, or structural corrosion issues appear in the data. The absence of advisories on tyres, discs, or bushes means the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the three-wheeled chassis, steering linkage, and brake calipers, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage can mask perished seals or flat-spotted tyres from storage. Standing time raises the risk of degraded fluids and hardened rubber components not captured by the annual test. Verify the condition of the drive belt, coolant, and front suspension bushes before purchase, despite the unblemished DVSA history.
