2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AE66 SDV

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 42,030 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 32,643 miles in July 2021, rising to 36,151 by July 2022, 39,600 by July 2023, 41,511 by July 2024, and 42,030 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 519 miles added per year across the record, well under the 4,200-mile annual average for its age. The clean history shows no gaps, failures, or advisories, though such low use often means long stationary periods that can age tyres, seals, and brake components without triggering MOT faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of items the MOT does not stress-test under light use. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after the car sat unused for extended spells. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber, and examine subframes for structural rust given the vehicle's age. Verify the recorded mileages against service stamps and V5C to confirm the low reading is genuine rather than a clocked anomaly. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests a careful prior keeper, but a pre-purchase mechanical check remains prudent on any low-mileage older hatchback.
