2016 Peugeot Independence 2.0L Diesel · SF65 HBO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 38,527 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a car that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,853 miles per year. There is a notable discrepancy in the records between September 2021, where the mileage was 39,548, and October 2022, where it dropped to 28,745. This suggests a recording error by the tester during one of these visits rather than a mechanical rollback. Aside from this anomaly, the usage remains light, with only 3,129 miles added between July 2024 and July 2025. Low mileage cars often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack over time even if the tread remains deep. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs or calipers suggests the braking system is in good order, but the car should be checked for any signs of seizing due to long periods of standing. The lack of any mentioned corrosion or structural failures across five years of testing is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall integrity. Given the clean record, a physical inspection should focus on fluid levels and battery health to ensure the vehicle has not been neglected while stationary. There are no recurring mechanical faults in the data to suggest any systemic issues with the drivetrain or exhaust system.
