DG52 ORO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Peugeot Unknown (DG52 ORO) between September 2022 and September 2024.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 27 September 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 5 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a))”; “Registration plate lamp missing in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This Peugeot shows
Given that the most recent test only succeeded by addressing tyre and lighting issues, a buyer should budget for immediate replacement of front and rear tyres and a full check of all position lamps and the registration plate lamp before the next MOT is due. The exhaust major leak and excessive noise noted on 19 September 2024 are particularly concerning, as they suggest either a damaged exhaust system or worn mounting that could recur if not properly repaired; ask for invoices for any exhaust work carried out between September and the pass on 27 September 2024. The advisory on steering headbearing free play from 2022 should also be followed up, as headbearing wear tends to progress rather than resolve, and the brake lever reserve travel failure indicates the brake system should be inspected thoroughly. With the vehicle now being over 23 years old, even modest MOT issues can indicate broader wear, so an independent pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised.
A 49cc petrol Peugeot is likely to be cheap to run, with fuel economy typically well in excess of 100 mpg and very low tax exposure given the small engine capacity, often falling into the cheapest tax bracket for vehicles of this age and size. Insurance is also generally inexpensive due to the low engine size and modest performance, though classic or rare variants can attract specialist premiums, so quotes should be obtained before purchase. Typical maintenance costs should be low, but the exhaust and tyre issues seen in the 2024 MOT suggest budgeting around £150-£300 for fresh tyres, an exhaust section repair or replacement, and general consumables in the first year.
The most important items to inspect on this specific vehicle are the exhaust system, both for leaks and for noise compliance, and the steering headbearings, which were flagged for free play in 2022 and could have worsened since. Check the front and rear tyres closely for uneven wear patterns, as the September 2024 failures only just passed on tyre condition, and inspect the lighting circuits including all position lamps and the number plate lamp, which failed twice on 26 September 2024 before the pass the following day. Finally, operate the rear brake lever to confirm there is sufficient reserve travel, as this was a fail item in September 2024, and check that the brake cable is not frayed or seized.
This is a 49cc petrol Peugeot, registered in December 2002, presented in yellow and showing 16,080 miles on the most recent test. The MOT record is mixed: two passes were issued in 2022 and 2023, but two failures followed in September 2024, covering tyres, lighting, exhaust integrity, brake lever travel and steering headbearing play. The 49cc engine size and yellow finish suggest this is most likely a small moped-class Peugeot rather than a car, despite the car-style registration format.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for this Peugeot model, so broader reliability patterns cannot be reliably stated from the provided information.
