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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,720 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a DANGEROUS tyre defect and numerous unresolved advisories, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2021 (138 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, but this significant early-life anomaly is a major red flag.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2024): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2018-02-12 (Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge).
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2018-02-12, 2024-09-04).
- Recurring engine oil and emissions failures/advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2018-02-12, 2024-09-04).
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until 2026-09-11, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021, averaging 7,731 miles/year.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2018) suggests a generally safe vehicle.
