1997 PEUGEOT 4062.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2010-08-18 revealed multiple defects, including a failed parking brake efficiency test, excessive play in the offside anti-roll bar linkage, and issues with headlamp aim and stop lamps. These suggest potential safety risks, particularly with braking and handling. The vehicle had previously passed in 2009 and 2006, but a 2007 entry showed a failed parking brake test, indicating recurring concerns with this system. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, with the last failure in 2010. While there is no clear pattern of worsening issues, the 2010 defects highlight specific mechanical risks. The parking brake and anti-roll bar linkage require close attention, as both can impact safety. No major trends in deterioration are evident, but the vehicle’s age and low mileage mean wear may be uneven. With 125,315 miles at 29 years old, the vehicle has averaged about 4,321 miles per year—very low for its age. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might lead to component stiffness or corrosion. However, the mileage alone does not confirm whether the car has been driven frequently or stored.
