PEUGEOT 6072002 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT record dates from August 2014, meaning this vehicle has held no valid test certificate for nearly twelve years as of June 2026. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, improving, or worsening because the record effectively ends at 198,431 miles with no subsequent inspections. The final test on 8 August 2014 passed, but only after a failure the previous day on 7 August 2014 at 198,430 miles. That failure flagged a non-functioning registration plate lamp, insufficient washer fluid, and an offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt. Both the pass and the fail noted front and rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. These were advisories rather than failures, yet the fact that the same brake disc defects appear in both the failed and passed entries suggests the discs were not replaced between the two tests one day apart, only that the tester judged them within tolerance on the retest. The mileage pattern shows the car covered roughly 61,347 miles between April 2009 at 137,084 miles and August 2014 at 198,431 miles, averaging about 11,500 miles per year over that five-year window. That is slightly above the overall lifetime average of 8,268 miles per year for a 2002 vehicle now recorded at 198,431 miles. The gap between the April 2011 test at 186,846 miles and the August 2014 test at 198,431 miles covers 11,585 miles in just over three years, which is consistent with steady use. No rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps are visible in the data, but the complete absence of any MOT record after August 2014 raises the question of whether the car has been in continuous use, laid up, or driven without a valid test for over a decade. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should pay close attention to the front brake discs and rear brake discs, which were already worn and pitted at the last test twelve years ago. The offside front track rod end ball joint dust joint was compromised at the 2014 failure, meaning dirt and moisture will have entered the joint over the intervening years if the car has been used. The condition of that track rod end, along with the rest of the steering linkage and suspension bushes, warrants a thorough check. Given the age and the long gap in testing, a full underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly on subframes, sills, and brake lines, is essential before any purchase decision.
