AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Peugeot has 26 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 8,517 miles. The very low mileage (34,158 miles in 19 years) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,658 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 51 miles recorded before Aug 2015, and a significant drop in annual usage from 2020 onwards.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 7 failures and 9 advisories across critical systems (brakes, suspension, emissions) from 2018–2025.
- MILEAGE: Only 34,158 miles recorded in 19 years, significantly below UK average, raising odometer fraud concerns.
- RECURRING ISSUES: Brake hose and disc advisories appear in 7 tests, indicating chronic neglect.
- SERVICE GAPS: No MOT recorded for 2021, suggesting potential SORN or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: Current MOT is valid until 2026-07-30, providing immediate peace of mind.
- NO RECENT FAILURES: The most recent MOT (Jul 2025) passed after addressing prior failures.
- Consistent MOT Testing: Vehicle has been regularly tested since 2008, showing continuous use.
- Euro NCAP Rating: 4/5 stars (2018) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its age.
