2018 PEUGEOT 2081.2L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑19 records a PASS, confirming the Peugeot 208 meets current roadworthiness standards. However the same date also shows a FAIL entry, indicating a prior failure that was rectified before the re‑test. The sequence from the 2024‑10‑01 failure to the 2025‑09‑19 pass demonstrates an improving trend, with the vehicle returning to compliance after a brief lapse. Mileage progression shows a gradual slowdown in annual usage. Between the September 2023 test (48 889 mi) and the October 2024 test (57 555 mi) the odometer advanced 8 666 mi in roughly 13 months—about 7 000 mi per year. From October 2024 to September 2025 the increase was 5 208 mi over ~11 months, averaging around 4 700 mi annually. The reduced rate suggests lighter overall use, though the data set is sparse with only three test points. Despite the clean defect logs, the back‑to‑back pass/fail on the same day hints at latent issues that may not have been captured in the MOT paperwork. A buyer should inspect the brake system for uneven disc wear, caliper binding, and pad condition. Suspension components, including front and rear bushes and coil springs, require close visual and tactile assessment for wear or excessive play. The steering rack and tie‑rod ends should be checked for looseness, and the exhaust system examined for rust perforations. Under‑body corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, must be evaluated, as must tyre tread depth and pressure uniformity. These checks will reveal any hidden deterioration not reflected in the MOT records.
