2014 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF64 FNL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 January 2025 at 140,496 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or safety regressions typically flagged during the DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Data shows steady usage, with 3,259 miles recorded between the December 2023 and January 2025 tests. There is a notable gap in records between October 2020 and January 2022, during which the car covered 16,686 miles, indicating a period of higher-than-average use. However, the accumulation is linear and does not suggest the sudden stress often associated with long periods of stationary standing or extreme commercial use. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical component wear, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items common to a Peugeot of this age. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 140,000 miles despite passing basic MOT tests. Additionally, inspecting the brake discs for thinning and checking for caliper movement is prudent to ensure the lack of recorded binding brakes reflects the current state of the braking system.
