This 2002 Peugeot has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 83,570 miles. The high mileage and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely high annual usage, averaging 21,664 miles per year, with a notable spike of 35,738 miles between Aug 2007 and Aug 2008.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2012-09-05; no valid MOT certificate is present, making it illegal to drive.
- Four major failures across brakes, lights, emissions, and tyres in the first 10 tests.
- Recurring exhaust issues (Aug 2007 FAIL) and suspension arm play (Aug 2007 FAIL, Aug 2006 ADVISORY).
- High annual mileage (21,664 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) indicates heavy wear.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the owner has maintained it to pass tests.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, suggesting genuine use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) provides a basic level of safety assurance.
- Low insurance group (3 out of 50) means lower running costs for the owner.
