This 2005 Peugeot has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 27,633 miles. This makes it unroadworthy and illegal to drive, posing significant safety and legal risks.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 27,633 miles over 21 years (Jan 2005 to Jan 2020), followed by a suspiciously low 3,747 miles in the subsequent 14 months (May 2019 to Jan 2020).

Things to check

  • MOT status: Not valid, no expiry date (Jan 2020) — illegal to drive.
  • Mileage anomaly: 27,633 miles in 21 years, then only 3,747 miles in 14 months (May 2019–Jan 2020).
  • Major failure: Headlamp aim too high (Jun 2009) — safety-critical defect.
  • Recurring corrosion: Rear sub-frame corrosion noted in May 2019 and May 2020 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2018): 4-star safety rating.
  • No recurring failures: Single headlamp failure in 2009, no subsequent failures.
  • Consistent mileage: 7,341 miles/year average, well below UK average.
  • No recent advisories: Last MOT was in Jan 2020, no recent advisories.
