AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Peugeot has 5 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 51,653 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and high mileage demand a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage at 13,411 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable 93-mile increase between July 2012 and August 2012.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 2011, 2012, and 2013 MOTs indicate chronic neglect.
- Multiple lighting failures (headlamps, stop lamps, registration plate) in 2012 and 2013 point to systemic electrical issues.
- Two major steering failures (ball joint excessive play) in 2012 and 2013 suggest significant suspension wear.
- The 2013-07-15 MOT failed due to headlamp and rear position lamp issues, then passed the same day, a classic 'just passed MOT' tactic.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a history of recurring failures.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
- The car has a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a generally safe design.
