AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Peugeot has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 21,076 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age (21,076 miles in 14 years) combined with recurring major failures and advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,493 miles/year, with a significant 14-year gap to 49,064 miles in January 2026, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (Jan 2026) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Outer Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Dec 2021) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Dec 2021) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Rear Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Dec 2021) — immediate safety risk.
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until 2027-01-12, indicating a recent pass despite the dangerous history.
- No recurring failures in the same system category (e.g., no repeated brake failures on the same axle).
- Consistent low annual mileage (3,493 miles/year) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
