2016 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF16 ABK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 77,392 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 5 February 2026 and 20 February 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately during the same visit. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,739 miles per year. Usage patterns appear steady and predictable. Between 20 February 2024 and 5 February 2025, the vehicle covered 9,800 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight increase in usage, with 6,426 miles added by the February 2026 test. This regular driving cycle generally prevents the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a ten year old Peugeot and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The record shows no history of structural integrity issues or exhaust emission failures. A buyer should still perform a physical check of common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Focus on the condition of the tyre treads and the operation of the air conditioning system. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the brake pads for remaining thickness, as the clean MOT history indicates the vehicle is mechanically sound but does not guarantee that consumables are not nearing the end of their service life.
