2014 Peugeot Unknown 2.2L Diesel · HX64 BZB

A pattern of intermittent component wear and specific failures in 2022 characterizes the mechanical history of this Peugeot, though the record shows a recent trend toward clean passes with no defects recorded in the latest tests on 14 July 2026 and 23 January 2026. The most significant mechanical interruption occurred in August 2022, when the vehicle failed due to a dangerous defect regarding a tyre with exposed cords and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While several advisories were noted during that period, including worn suspension arm bushes and a perishing offside rear tyre, these issues appear to have been addressed given the subsequent clean results in the 2023, 2024, 2026, and 2026 inspections. The vehicle has covered 45,947 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,829 miles. This usage profile is significantly lower than the UK average, which may suggest infrequent use or longer periods of being stationary. Mechanically, such low mileage can mean that while drivetrain components may have less wear than a high-mileage equivalent, rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyres are more susceptible to age-related degradation and perishing rather than wear-related failure. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension system during a test drive, specifically looking for any knocks, clunks, or unevenness when traversing bumps or uneven road surfaces. This is due to the 2022 advisory regarding worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both front and rear units. Although recent tests show no defects, the previous identification of bush wear warrants a physical inspection for any play in the suspension linkages or steering response that might indicate the issue has recurred or was not fully rectified. Tyre condition and integrity also require scrutiny, following the 2021 advisories for worn edges and the 2022 failure for a tyre with exposed cords. While the most recent tests show no tyre-related issues, the history of perishing and wear suggests that the age of the rubber should be verified. During the test drive, listen for rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise which could indicate irregular wear, and visually inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or bulging, particularly on the offside rear, to ensure the low-mileage usage hasn't resulted in aged, brittle rubber.
