AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Peugeot has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 11,406 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a dangerous tyre failure and no recent MOT, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of 5,122 miles per year, averaging 11,406 miles over 22 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2004 car.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2009-06-25, a critical safety failure.
  • Dangerous brake disc defects recorded on 2009-06-25, a critical safety failure.
