2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · HV17 AEJ

This Peugeot 208 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 90,289 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between 26 March 2022 at 53,926 miles and 24 March 2026 at 90,289 miles, the car covered 36,363 miles. The most significant annual increase occurred between 17 March 2023 and 19 March 2024, where the odometer rose by 11,873 miles. This consistency indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left to stand, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The absence of any flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. There are no recurring faults to suggest systemic mechanical failure or neglected upkeep. The history implies the previous owners addressed consumable wear, such as tyres and wiper blades, before the official inspections. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear points not always captured in a basic MOT. Check the condition of the clutch and gear shift smoothness, as the 90,000-mile mark often coincides with drivetrain wear. Inspect the cabin filters and oil service intervals to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record. Given the lack of structural advisories, a quick check for underbody corrosion remains a prudent final step.
