2012 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF62 KGG

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in a state of improving trend, as indicated by the most recent MOT test on 2025-09-25 at 74,247 miles where the test passed with no defects. This recent passing suggests that the mechanical condition has stabilized or recovered from the previous failure, although the history of two separate failures in September 2025 indicates that the issue may not be fully resolved. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the first failure, with the vehicle failing at 74,243 miles on 2025-09-23. This gap of approximately 300 miles suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full year of standard driving, potentially reflecting a lack of maintenance or a longer period of inactivity. The subsequent MOTs on 2024-08-15 and 2024-08-14, both passing at 62,109 and 62,106 miles respectively, confirm that the vehicle has not accumulated excessive wear since the initial failure, indicating a lack of aggressive consumption of consumables like tyres or wiper blades. Consequently, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake disc condition. The history of two failures in the same month suggests that the brakes may have been inspected but not serviced, or that the condition of the brake discs has deteriorated. Given the low mileage and recent passing, the primary concern is whether the suspension components are still structurally sound and free from corrosion, as the vehicle's age and mileage suggest that maintenance is not currently at a high priority level.
