AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Peugeot has 21 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 21,238 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the underlying issues and inconsistent mileage make this a high-risk purchase.
A critical mileage anomaly is present: on 21 May 2025, the MOT recorded 111,697 miles, but the subsequent retest on the same day recorded 105,926 miles, a 5,771-mile decrease.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 13 Jan 2016 and 13 Feb 2022, indicating chronic neglect.
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 13 Feb 2022, showing a pattern of critical safety component wear.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: On 21 May 2025, a 5,771-mile decrease was recorded between retest pairs, a clear red flag for fraud.
- Recurring failures: Major failures for lights, steering, and emissions across multiple tests, indicating systemic issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-20, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage: 8,324 miles/year is average and suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
- No recent major failures: The last MOT on 21 Apr 2026 passed after addressing advisories, showing some recent care.
- Euro NCAP rating: 4/5 stars (2018) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
