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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 22,146 miles. The combination of recurring major failures, low annual mileage, and a 5-year MOT gap makes this vehicle too risky to recommend.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 22,146 miles over 23 years, with a significant anomaly of only 157 miles recorded between March 2017 and April 2018.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2019-04-15, indicating it has been off-road for years.
  • Six major failures across critical systems (emissions, brakes, suspension, tyres) from 2006-2018.
  • Recurring suspension arm issues (6 tests) and exhaust leaks (5 tests) point to chronic neglect.
  • The 2018-04-15 MOT expiry is 5 years past, making the current MOT status 'Not valid' a critical red flag.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2018): 4-star safety rating.
  • No specific recurring failures in the most recent MOT tests (Apr 2018).
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories from the 2018-04-15 test.
