AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Peugeot has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 13,027 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of dangerous failures and unexplained low mileage raises serious concerns.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (67 mi/yr equivalent) before July 2021, followed by normal usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Sep 2025) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (Sep 2025) — structural integrity concern.
- Recurring suspension failures: Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (Sep 2025) — repeated wear pattern.
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (67 mi/yr equivalent) before Jul 2021 — potential odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-10 — no immediate retest required.
- No recurring brake failures — a positive for safety-critical systems.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021 (7,759 mi/yr) — no recent unusual patterns.
- No outstanding recalls or dangerous defects from the latest MOT test.
