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

This 2003 Peugeot has 27 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 14,861 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,170 miles/year, with a significant drop from 59,970 miles in Jan 2019 to 61,735 miles in Jan 2020, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2020-01-20, immediately followed by a PASS.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-01-20, immediately followed by a PASS.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS defects on 2020-01-20 (tyres, brakes) indicate severe neglect.
  • Very low annual mileage (3,170 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old vehicle is highly suspicious.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory despite low annual usage, no suspicious drops.
  • No recurring dangerous defects in the most recent MOT tests (Jan 2026).
