2009 Peugeot SUM UP 0.1L Petrol · NX09 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2025 with 14,491 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the recorded failures involve minor electrical and steering components rather than systemic mechanical or structural decline. The 2025 failure for a nearside rear stop lamp was rectified immediately within a single day, suggesting the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 852 miles per year. There are significant gaps between tests, such as the 3,418-mile interval between December 2022 and January 2024, and another 5,468 miles between January 2024 and March 2025. While this low usage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of component degradation due to stagnation. Rubber seals perish and brake surfaces may rust or seize during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the steering assembly and suspension components, as the steering damper was flagged as ineffective in early 2024 at 9,010 miles. Given the age and low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and surface rust is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer more oxidation than frequently driven ones. Verify the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for dry rot, as low mileage often masks aging material failure despite sufficient tread depth.
