2003 Peugeot 406 2.2L Petrol · BX53 AFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 112,559 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed the test just five miles prior to a passing result, suggesting that minor, easily rectable defects such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor adjustments are being addressed before testing rather than indicating deep mechanical neglect. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 112,559 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. The data shows consistent but low-intensity usage, with 5,070 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,943 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. While the low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals which can perish over time regardless of distance. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the Peugeot's chassis integrity. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, check for structural corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and suspension mounting points which are common for this model. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or tearing, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from brittle rubber due to standing. Verify the brake system for seized calipers or perished hoses, as long periods of inactivity can lead to surface corrosion on the discs and internal binding.
