2001 Peugeot 406 2.0L Diesel · Y412 EBD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-07-04 at 148,308 miles, indicating a current roadworthy status. However, the maintenance trend is concerning, with a failed test occurring just a month prior at 148,271 miles. The tester flagged no defects on the most recent pass, but the immediate failure before it suggests that the car's condition may be precarious. The recorded mileage of 148,308 miles is relatively low for a 2001 PEUGEOT 406, with an annual mileage of approximately 5,932 miles. This low mileage could imply lighter use or long periods of standing. However, the data shows a notable gap between 2023-09-13 and 2024-07-08, with 123,030 miles recorded on the failed test, and 133,878 miles on the subsequent pass. This suggests a possible period of inactivity or minimal use between these dates. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes, particularly the rear, as the tester flagged a binding condition on the failed test in 2023. Additionally, the suspension system should be examined, as the car's age and mileage may have taken a toll on its components. The vehicle's exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be checked, as these are critical areas that can be prone to wear and corrosion over time. Furthermore, the buyer should verify that all advisories have been addressed and that the vehicle is in a safe condition for use on the road.
