2018 Peugeot Unknown 1.6L Diesel · SF67 DXP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 27 January 2026 at 103,334 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2025 and 2024. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement compared to earlier years, as the vehicle has moved away from a period of frequent failures related to suspension and braking components. The mileage accumulation is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,917 miles per year. The records show consistent annual usage, with the mileage increasing by roughly 7,800 to 13,800 miles between each recorded test. This high-frequency usage suggests the vehicle has been a regular commuter or long-distance runner rather than sitting idle, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of Macpherson strut mounting and attachment bracket failures in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. While the 2026 test shows no current issues, the repeated failures regarding insecure strut mountings and damaged top mounts suggest these components have undergone significant stress. Checking for play in the strut tops and inspecting the integrity of the mounting brackets is essential. The braking system also warrants attention. The 2022 test flagged serious issues with rear brake discs and a damaged nearside rear brake cable, alongside pitted front discs. Although the vehicle passed the 2025 and 2026 tests without brake advisories, the history of both worn and seriously weakened discs indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance or heavy usage. A thorough check of the brake pads, discs, and calipers for uneven wear or binding is recommended.
