2022 Peugeot 208 Active Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · HW22 AAO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 15 June 2026 , reveals a clean pass with no mechanical defects, though it was initially failed on 15 June 2026 for a minor washer fluid issue (3.5(a)), which was promptly rectified. This suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, with no recurring or serious mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or structural concerns in the latest test indicates the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components have not been flagged for deterioration, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to confirm hidden wear. The single failure in June 2026 was purely cosmetic and non-structural, reinforcing that the vehicle has likely been kept in basic compliance with MOT requirements. The recorded mileage of 37,511 miles at the latest test aligns with a typical annual usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,378 miles per year . This suggests consistent driving rather than prolonged neglect or excessive wear. The gap between the 2025 MOT (29,386 miles) and the 2026 test (37,511 miles) —covering roughly 8,125 miles in under a year —indicates no unusual periods of inactivity or rapid mileage accumulation that might imply deferred maintenance. However, the lack of intermediate service records means potential wear on items like suspension bushes, brake pads, or timing components cannot be confirmed without further evidence. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear bushes and coil springs , as these are common wear points on this model that often go unnoticed without a detailed examination. The rear brakes should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the 2025 test did not specify brake condition, and front brake discs may require assessment if the vehicle has been driven hard. Additionally, the windscreen washer system was failed in June 2026, so the reservoir, jets, and pump should be tested for proper function. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or major faults, underbody inspection for rust around the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounts is advisable, especially given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure risks.
