PEUGEOT 2082018 · 1.2L PETROL

The Peugeot 208 passed its most recent MOT on 9 June 2026 at 50,395 miles, leaving it roadworthy and showing a broadly stable maintenance trend. The tester raised only minor consumable advisories: both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge, plus a child seat obscuring the adult belt. No mechanical or structural defects appeared at that test. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate across the eight-year life. The car recorded 25,757 miles in June 2023, 33,712 in June 2024, 41,924 at the failed June 2025 test, and 41,948 when it passed a day later. By June 2026 it reached 50,395. That averages roughly 6,300 miles per year, typical for the age, with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods suggesting neglect through disuse. The June 2025 failure exposed exhaust faults the prior owner corrected quickly. The tester flagged a split flexi pipe causing major gas leakage, a high lambda reading after second fast idle, and a defective nearside front exhaust mounting. These point to a neglected emission system at that point, though the clean pass on 20 June 2025 confirms the repairs held. The 2024 and 2023 tests noted windscreen chips not affecting view, and 2023 also showed slight cracking on the offside front and rear tyres. A buyer should still verify the front tyres flagged in June 2026, as edge wear often signals worn suspension bushes or misaligned geometry. Inspect the exhaust flexi and mountings for recurrence of splits, and confirm the windscreen chips have not spread. The record shows no corrosion, brake, or suspension failure, so the core structure remains sound.
