2020 Peugeot 208 Active Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · YM70 AEE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 11,762 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend. No recurring issues were flagged across the three tests, and the absence of advisories or failures suggests consistent upkeep. However, the lack of a subsequent MOT since 2025-12-01—over 7 months prior to the current date—raises questions about ongoing compliance and potential undetected deterioration. The mileage of 11,762 miles at 6 years old averages 1,960 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern aligns with the MOT records, which show incremental increases: 6,314 miles in 2023, 9,362 in 2024, and 11,762 in 2025. While the low mileage may indicate infrequent use or storage, the clean MOT history avoids confirming structural or mechanical risks. The absence of corrosion, suspension, or brake-related defects in all tests is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, and assess the exhaust system for hidden corrosion, which may develop during periods of inactivity. The battery and fluid levels should also be verified, as prolonged storage can lead to degradation. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the gap in testing since 2025-12-01 necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
