2017 Peugeot Metropolis 0.4L Petrol · SE17 XGP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2022 at 9,917 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained high standards of presentation throughout its recorded life, with no evidence of mechanical failure or structural degradation flagged by the testing centre. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the December 2020 test at 5,293 miles and the April 2021 test at 5,493 miles, representing only 200 miles over four months. Between April 2021 and April 2022, the vehicle covered 4,424 miles. This usage suggests the car sits for long periods, which often reduces typical wear and tear associated with high-frequency use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long periods of inactivity rather than high-mileage. Check for dry rot on the tyres and perished rubber bushings, as low mileage often masks the material degradation of rubber components. The braking system should be inspected for seized calipers or surface corrosion on the discs caused by sitting stationary. Additionally, verify the fluid levels and condition, as moisture can accumulate in systems over time when the vehicle is not driven regularly.
