2012 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · MJ62 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The August 2024 test at 133,637 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding these passes in 2023 and 2024, the absence of specific defect descriptions suggests these were likely minor failures related to consumables that were rectified quickly. The maintenance trend appears consistent, with the vehicle maintaining a clean MOT status through its most recent recorded tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age and type. The data shows a steady progression from 110,528 miles in July 2022 to 133,637 miles by August 2024. This represents an average annual usage of approximately 11,500 miles over the last two years, which aligns well with the overall lifetime average of roughly 9,546 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. Because the MOT history lacks specific details regarding the previous failures, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the condition of wear-and-tear components. You should closely examine the suspension system, specifically checking the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Given the mileage, the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads should be verified to ensure they have not reached their wear limits. The lack of advisories for corrosion or structural integrity in the recent records is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, you should still inspect the underbody for surface rust or significant corrosion on the exhaust system and fuel lines. Checking the tyre tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades will also confirm if the minor issues that caused the previous failures were addressed thoroughly.
