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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 13,540 miles. While recent MOTs show resolution, the pattern of neglect and age-related wear warrants extreme caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,270 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap (2017-2024) where no MOT tests were recorded.

Things to check

  • Mileage is critically low at 3,270 miles/year, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Four major failures across brakes, suspension, and steering systems between 2010 and 2016.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres, headlamps, and suspension bushes indicate systemic neglect.
  • MOT expired in 2017; the vehicle has been off-road for 7 years, raising serious safety concerns.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since April 2016, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
