This 2001 Peugeot has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 107,861 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2014-02-03, which is a critical and unaddressed safety concern.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low 920 miles/year before April 2007, followed by high annual usage, with a significant drop in usage between 2007 and 2008.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: 8 light failures, 6 tyre failures, and 2 suspension failures.
  • High mileage (200,863 miles) for a 2001 vehicle, indicating heavy use.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant, incurring daily charges in London.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the owner addressed issues.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud after the initial low-usage period.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
