Our Verdict
Approach this 2012 pink Peugeot diesel with strong caution, as its MOT history shows repeated failures and worn safety-critical components. Unless the seller can prove all recent defects have been professionally repaired, we would not recommend buying it without a thorough independent inspection.
Before considering purchase, obtain written proof that the 2024 MOT failure items were rectified — specifically the parking brake efficiency below 50%, inoperative parking brakes on both rears, and split constant velocity boots on both front driveshafts. These are safety-related and were flagged as failures rather than advisories, so a clean 2024 pass alone does not confirm they were fixed unless the test certificate and invoice match. Negotiate firmly on price given the recurring front suspension arm bush wear noted at every test since 2022 and the rear brake disc scoring seen in 2022 and 2024. Ask for full service history; with a 13-year-old diesel and 114k miles, evidence of cambelt, brake, and suspension maintenance is essential. Given the pink colour and 2012 registration, this is a niche spec that may limit resale demand, so factor that into any offer.
As a 1560cc diesel first registered in September 2012, this Peugeot will likely fall into a lower CO2 tax band than equivalent petrols, but pre-Euro 6 diesels can face city clean-air charges depending on location. Insurance group data is unavailable, though older small diesels are typically inexpensive to cover. Maintenance costs will be elevated given the documented suspension bush wear, rear brake disc replacement, and possible driveshaft boot work seen across MOTs. Estimated annual running cost is £900-£1,200 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep for a high-mileage older diesel with outstanding wear items.
On viewing, physically check both front suspension arm bushes for splitting or play, as MOT records show wear flagged at 98,529, 107,312, and 114,471 miles. Inspect the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring noted in 2022 and 2024, and test the parking brake on each rear wheel since both sides were recorded inoperative at the 2024 failure. Examine both front constant velocity boots for splits or insecurity, a failure point in 2022 and 2024 that allows dirt ingress and can destroy driveshaft joints if ignored. Confirm the exhaust mounting and fuel tank heat shield flagged in 2022 are secure, and verify the parking brake efficiency exceeds 50% of required value. A professional inspection is strongly advised given the pattern of repeated defects.
This September 2012 Peugeot (YR62AAV) is a 1.56-litre diesel showing 114,471 miles on its most recent 2024 MOT, which equates to roughly 9,500 miles per year. The MOT record includes two failures in 2022 and 2024 plus several advisories for suspension, brakes, and driveshaft boots that persisted across tests. No model aggregate reliability data is available, so the assessment rests entirely on this vehicle's own history, which points to an above-average-wear example needing attention.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for this Peugeot model, so reliability assessment is based solely on this vehicle's individual test history.
