2014 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF14 AMV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on August 4, 2025 at 146,199 miles, recorded no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within legal operating parameters without triggering recurring failures during the annual inspections. At 146,199 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 12,183 miles per year over its 12-year life. The data shows consistent usage patterns with a notable jump of 11,637 miles recorded between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 4,817 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used consistently for longer journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of engine seals and brake components typically associated with stationary vehicles. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items that are not always flagged during a standard test. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show fatigue after 140,000 miles. Given the mileage, checking for brake disc thinning and inspecting calipers for binding is also essential to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its functional life despite the lack of recorded failures.
