2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · GJ16 ACY

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 March 2026 at 54,796 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed clean. The single failure entry dated 15 March 2024 at 43,447 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault on the day. Recorded mileage sits at 54,796 against a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,480 miles per year. The odometer moved from 37,604 in March 2023 to 43,447 in March 2024, then 49,134 in March 2025 and 54,796 in March 2026, showing steady low annual use of around 5,500 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such light use over the period suggests the vehicle spent extended intervals idle, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the supplied record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely standing periods, as rubber components and calipers degrade with inactivity rather than wear. The DVSA data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns across the five entries. Verify the March 2024 failure with no defects was a clerical duplicate or withdrawal, not a concealed rejection. Otherwise the documented history implies conscientious annual testing and a previous owner who kept basic statutory upkeep current.
