2019 Peugeot Rifter 1.5L Diesel · SF19 DLD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean result in its most recent inspection. The MOT conducted in October 2023 at 18,981 miles returned a pass with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improvement from a reactive state in 2022 to a current state of compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,712 miles annually. Data shows a gap of 4,274 miles between the July 2022 test at 14,707 miles and the October 2023 test at 18,981 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or flat-spotting on brake discs. A buyer should pay close attention to the July 2022 failure at 14,707 miles where the tester flagged front brake pads below the 1.5mm threshold and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the edge wear on the tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry fault. A physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and tracking is necessary to ensure the uneven wear was resolved. Given the low usage, the buyer should also check for brake caliper seizing or corrosion on the rotors resulting from the vehicle sitting for extended periods.
