PEUGEOT 2051987 · 1.8L DIESEL

The 1987 Peugeot 205 has a single MOT failure recorded in 2006, when it had 144,482 miles. This was a significant failure, with multiple critical issues identified. The nearside front brake binding posed an immediate safety risk, while the windscreen damage within zone 'A' compromised visibility. Split CV joint gaiters and failed shock absorbers indicated wear in drivetrain and suspension components. Most concerning were the excessive body/chassis corrosion near mountings, which seriously weakened structural integrity. These defects suggest the vehicle was in poor condition at the time of the MOT. The MOT history shows no subsequent passes or failures after 2006, meaning there is no evidence of ongoing repairs or recurring issues. However, the lack of recent MOT data makes it impossible to assess whether the vehicle’s condition has worsened, stabilized, or improved over time. The 2006 failure highlights structural and safety-critical problems, but without further records, the trend remains unclear. The vehicle’s mileage of 144,482 miles over 39 years equates to roughly 3,705 miles per year, which is low for its age.
