2014 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · AE14 OLW

The Peugeot 208 currently holds no valid MOT pass. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 131,347 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the roadworthiness status unresolved and the maintenance trend ambiguous rather than clearly stable or worsening. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 17 February 2025 at 112,260 miles after an same-day failure showing no defects, and passed on 28 February 2024 at 97,009 miles following a 27 February 2024 failure at 96,999 miles with no defects logged. Annual mileage averages around 10,946 based on the 131,347 miles recorded over roughly twelve years, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 96,999 to 97,009 miles across February 2024, rising to 112,260 by February 2025 and 131,347 by February 2026. No long standing gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every failure citing no defects recorded, which prevents direct assessment of consumable wear or structural condition from the record alone. A buyer must verify in person why the 2026 failure occurred with no defects listed, as this often signals an administrative or unrecorded mechanical issue at the test centre. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern in February 2025 and the adjacent-day sequence in February 2024 suggest previous owners addressed faults quickly but the absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion on structural points were never formally flagged. Given the mileage and age, inspect front suspension arms, rear axle corrosion, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers directly. The clean advisory history offers no evidence of ongoing neglect, yet the unresolved 2026 failure means the car is not legally roadworthy until a fresh test confirms compliance.
