2016 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF16 AAX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 31,638 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,164 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, growing from 20,486 miles in March 2022 to 31,638 miles by March 2026. There are no erratic jumps in distance or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or significant periods of neglect. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perishing rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential brake disc corrosion or binding calipers caused by the car sitting for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the fluid levels and the condition of the battery to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long-term dormancy. While the DVSA records show no structural integrity issues or suspension wear, verifying the age and condition of the tyres is prudent given the slow rate of mileage accumulation.
