That’s absolutely ridiculous.
I’d tweet that @Peugeot, usually if you call them out proper on social media, they react. If you have the option, i’d actually reject it rather than chasing down all flaws. Chances are that things that aren’t directly visible (or immediately obvious, since i know that suspension wasn’t the only fault) are broken/faulty too.
In the beginning i thought you might be overdramatising, but that’s genuinely not safe.
