2011 Peugeot Tweet 0.1L Petrol · FJ11 AMX

The Peugeot Tweet presents a clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 5,985 miles passing without any defects. This aligns with the two prior tests—25 October 2021 (5,798 miles) and 22 November 2022 (5,929 miles)—all of which also passed with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently, or at least that no major mechanical or structural problems have surfaced during official inspections. The stability of the record over nearly three years is positive, though the lack of mileage progression beyond 5,985 miles raises questions about usage patterns. The recorded mileage of 5,985 miles over roughly 15 years—averaging just 399 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage could indicate the car has been stored for long periods, used only occasionally, or driven very short distances. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests (around 13 months with just 131 miles added) further supports this. While low mileage typically means less wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, it also means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake fluid may have degraded due to prolonged inactivity. Rust or corrosion could also be a concern in areas prone to moisture retention, particularly if the car was left uncovered. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, springs, and dampers, as these may have stiffened or degraded from lack of use. The brake system—calipers, discs, and hoses—should be checked for binding, corrosion, or fluid leaks, even if no MOT advisories were recorded. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, is another critical area, as prolonged exposure to the elements could have accelerated rust. Finally, fluid levels—brake, coolant, and power steering—should be verified, as stagnant fluids can break down over time. The absence of defects in the MOT record is encouraging, but the unusually low mileage and extended gaps between tests suggest the car may have seen limited use. This could mask underlying issues that only become apparent under normal driving conditions. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical health beyond what the MOT tests have captured.
