1991 PEUGEOT 2051.4L Petrol

The Peugeot 205 passed its most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 at 108,940 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once administrative failures were cleared. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear across the available five-year record. Recorded mileage rose from 104,314 in July 2023 to 108,940 by July 2025, a total of 4,626 miles over two years or roughly 2,313 miles per year. This sits below the 3,113 annual average implied by the age, confirming light use. The DVSA entries show two failed tests on 18 July 2025 and 22 July 2024 at 108,926 and 106,820 miles respectively, yet both list no defects. Such passes-without-record failures usually reflect paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical condition. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion across all tests suggests no flagged wear in those areas. A 1991 hatchback of this age, however, demands a physical inspection for hidden rust at sill and subframe mounting points that MOT testers may record only when severe. Check the exhaust system and binding calipers during a road trial. Given the low yearly coverage and clean recent history, previous keepers likely stored the car for long periods and addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still verify tyre sidewall condition and wiper operation, as these minor items escape the sparse record yet degrade under standing storage.
