2020 Peugeot Rifter 1.5L Diesel · ST20 GPY

A history of clean roadworthiness has defined this vehicle's recent testing profile, following a period in 2023 where multiple consumable components required attention. While the 2023 MOT recorded advisories for all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit and a nearside rear brake disc showing signs of pitting and scoring, the subsequent tests in 2024, 2025, and the most recent pass on 11 February 2026 have shown no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the issues identified regarding tyre tread depth and brake disc surface condition were addressed prior to the following inspection cycles. The vehicle has covered 45,748 miles over its six-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,625 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and major structural components have not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, the vehicle has been used sufficiently to avoid the potential issues associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Given the specific advisories noted in the 2023 record, a prospective buyer should still verify the current state of the braking system and tyre wear. Although no defects were noted in the 2026 test, it is prudent to inspect the brake discs for any signs of renewed pitting or scoring and to check the brake pads for uneven wear, which can sometimes stem from binding calipers. During a test drive, pay close attention to the braking feel; any pulsation through the pedal or steering wheel could indicate disc irregularities, while any pulling to one side during deceleration might suggest a sticking caliper or uneven pad application. Tyre condition should also be a primary focus during a physical inspection. Although the 2023 advisories for edge wear on all four tyres were cleared in later tests, you should check the current tread depth across the entire width of the tyre to ensure there is no uneven wear pattern. Uneven wear on the inner or outer edges can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises from the wheel arches at varying speeds, which could indicate irregular tyre wear or issues with the wheel bearings.
