PEUGEOT 4061996 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents an unknown roadworthiness status as there is no MOT record for over sixteen years. While the last recorded test in June 2010 at 160,941 miles showed a pass following a failure, the total lack of data since that date means the current mechanical and structural state is entirely unverified. The maintenance trend prior to the final test appears inconsistent, with recurring failures related to basic lighting and suspension components that required immediate attention to achieve compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,365 miles per year. Between June 2008 and June 2010, the car covered only 7,689 miles, indicating very light use or significant periods of stationary operation. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term lack of use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and accelerated corrosion in hidden areas that are not captured by the odometer reading alone. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the rear suspension mounting points. The June 2010 failure specifically flagged excessive corrosion on the nearside and offside rear suspension component mounting areas. Given the age of the Peugeot and the long gap in testing, this rust has likely progressed into a structural failure if not addressed. The buyer should also check for active oil leaks as noted in 2008 and verify the condition of the anti-roll bar linkages and wheel bearings, which were previous points of concern.
