AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Peugeot has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 3,715 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-08-03, which is a significant red flag.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage from 2011 onwards, averaging 8,693 miles/year, but a critical anomaly exists: suspiciously low mileage (615 mi/yr equivalent) was recorded before Mar 2011.
Things to check
- MOT currently 'Not valid' with expiry 2022-08-03 — immediate re-MOT required.
- Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, ball joint) and brake advisories (Jul 2020, Jul 2021).
- Engine oil leak advisory noted in 5 separate tests (2012, 2013, 2021) — persistent and costly.
- Exhaust system corrosion advisories in 3 separate tests (2012, 2013,
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) — good safety credentials for its age.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,693 miles/year (post-2011) — no recent high usage spikes.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Aug 2021 pass — immediate re-MOT needed.
