2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · AE65 FGZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-16 shows the vehicle passed but included multiple advisories. The offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, with a worn outer edge, and both front suspension arm pins or bushes were noted as worn but not causing excessive movement. A separate entry on the same date recorded a failure due to a non-functional nearside side repeater, an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, and the same suspension and tyre issues. This suggests the vehicle had unresolved minor faults at the time of testing. Recurring mechanical issues include wear on front suspension arm pins or bushes, first recorded in 2024-09-16 and reappearing in 2025-09-16. These are not critical defects but indicate progressive wear that could worsen over time. The offside front tyre’s near-limit wear was noted only in the 2025-09-16 MOT, suggesting it may have been overlooked in earlier checks. No other significant defects were recorded in the 2024-04-02 or 2023-03-30 MOTs, which were both passed with no issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 81,727 miles over 10 years aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging around 8,173 miles annually. This suggests neither excessive wear from heavy use nor prolonged under-use.
