2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · HY14 ADU

The most recent MOT, completed on 10 February 2026 at 36,988 miles, shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. This continues a stable maintenance trend: every one of the five recorded tests, stretching back to February 2022, has passed without a single advisory or failure. Nothing in the record suggests a worsening mechanical condition. The car has consistently presented as roadworthy at each annual inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low. At 12 years old, the car averages roughly 3,082 miles per year, and the odometer readings between tests show a steady, unhurried rhythm: 22,485 miles in February 2022, 24,003 in February 2023, 27,618 in February 2024, 31,376 in February 2025, and 36,988 in February 2026. There are no unusual gaps suggesting long periods of standing, nor any sudden spikes that would point to heavy commercial use or frequent motorway work. The approximate annual accrual of 4,000 to 5,500 miles between each test is consistent with light, regular private use. Because the MOT history is entirely clean, there are no recurring faults or flagged structural concerns to chase down. That said, a 12-year-old car with low mileage can still hide age-related deterioration, particularly in rubber components and corrosion. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, check brake discs and callipers for sticking or uneven wear, and look underneath for surface rust on subframes and floor pans. Tyres, although not failing any test, should be checked for perishing on the sidewalls given their age. The absence of advisories is a strong signal, but a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the items that wear with time rather than distance.
