2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · NA16 AAJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 29 December 2025 at 53,559 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet testing standards, as the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record across the previous three annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 36,299 miles and the January 2025 test at 40,968 miles, the car covered 4,669 miles over two years. The subsequent 12,591 miles recorded in the final year indicates slightly higher usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to dry seals or brake corrosion during long stationary periods. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the rubberised suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishation which occurs with age rather than distance. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from effectively cleaning the rotors.
