AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Peugeot has 4 MOT tests on record with a 25% pass rate and 6,959 miles. The extremely low mileage of 6,959 miles over 25 years, combined with a 2009-03-06 MOT expiry, presents significant unverified safety and potential fraud risks.
The vehicle shows extremely low lifetime mileage of 6,959 miles over 25 years, averaging only 1,333 miles per year, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer tampering or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 4 tests — 1 passed, 3 failed; critical safety failures in brakes, steering, and suspension.
- MILEAGE FRAUD: 6,959 miles over 25 years — extremely low for age, strongly suggests odometer tampering.
- MOT EXPIRY: 2009-03-06 expiry date — vehicle has been off-road for 15+ years, no current MOT.
- RECURRING FAILURES: Same system failures (brakes, steering) across multiple tests (2005, 2008, 2009).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP: 4/5 stars (2018) — indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
- Low Insurance Group: 3 out of 50 — offers lower running costs and insurance premiums.
- No Recent Failures: The last MOT failure was in April 2009, suggesting some repairs were made at that time.
- Consistent Mileage: While extremely low, the mileage has been consistent with no sudden spikes or drops.
