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

This 2002 Peugeot has 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 21,995 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with a 4.4× increase in annual usage before its last MOT.

The mileage shows a suspiciously low average of 131 miles/year from 2002 to 2022, then a 4.4× increase to 22,487 miles/year from 2022 to 2023, indicating a significant and unexplained change in usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (Jul 2019) and tyre failure (Jul 2019) indicate severe neglect.
  • Major engine/oil failure (Feb 2022) and exhaust deterioration (Jan 2008) point to systemic neglect.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (131 mi/yr) from 2002 to 2022, then a 4.4× increase to 22,487 mi/yr by Mar 2023.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jul 2019, Feb 2022, Mar 2023) suggest ongoing structural wear.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the last test in Mar 2023.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2024, despite its troubled history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The car has a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a generally safe design.
