PEUGEOT 208 ACTIVE2017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 08 July 2025 at 49,924 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at 49,896 miles. Because the failure recorded no specific defects, it suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Since the July 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 34,444 miles in July 2022 to 49,924 miles in July 2025. This low usage rate typically indicates short-distance commuting or limited use, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or the seizing of brake calipers if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of distance driven. The braking system should also be examined for surface rust or pitting on the discs, which often affects vehicles that sit for extended periods. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, suggesting the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
