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

This 2005 Peugeot has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 18,067 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the mileage anomaly and 'just passed MOT' seller tactic are significant red flags.

The mileage shows normal annual usage (6,744 miles/yr) until a significant drop in Jan 2017, where 5,995 miles were recorded between two tests.

Things to check

  • Jan 2017: Mileage anomaly — 5,995 miles difference between retest pair (23 Jan vs 16 Jan 2017).
  • Jan 2017: Tyre advisory escalated to major failure on 16 Jan 2017 (offside front tyre).
  • Mar 2012: Ball joint advisory escalated to major failure on 16 Mar 2012 (offside front drag link end).
  • Jan 2017: Exhaust advisory noted on 16 Jan 2017, a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage (6,744 miles/yr) until the 2017 anomaly.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a 2018 expiry date.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
