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 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 35,529 miles. The vehicle's mileage is also highly suspicious, averaging only 333 miles per year for over a decade.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage of 333 miles/year equivalent before September 2014, a significant anomaly for a 2002 car.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2017-09-11; vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.
  • Brake system failures and advisories are the most frequent and persistent, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Suspension arm advisories and failures are also highly recurring, suggesting ongoing structural wear.
  • Emissions failures and advisories are common, pointing to a history of poor engine maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2006.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues as they arise.
  • The car has a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a generally safe design for its era.
