Things to check

  • The vehicle is untaxed, which is a legal and safety concern for a 21-year-old vehicle.
  • The 2005 Peugeot is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 2 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,134 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
