AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Peugeot has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 55,541 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2018-05-31, which is a major red flag for a 23-year-old car.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,540 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes detected.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2018-05-31; current status is 'Not valid' — this is a 23-year-old vehicle with no active MOT.
  • 7 major failures across critical systems: lights, suspension, brakes, steering, and emissions — indicates systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm and ball joint issues (flagged in 8 tests) — a classic sign of structural wear and poor maintenance.
  • Recurring headlamp failures (flagged in 4 tests) — a persistent electrical/safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,540 miles per year — no fraud indicators.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent service history, with regular MOT tests conducted every year.
