2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AE66 WCL

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 39,100 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations show the same clean outcome. The vehicle exhibits no escalating faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across its five-year MOT trail. Recorded mileage sits at 39,100 against a ten-year-old car, equating to roughly 3,910 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 19,737 miles at the 22 July 2022 test, rising to 28,657 by 24 July 2023, then 38,304 on 23 July 2024, and 39,100 by July 2025. That is low annual use with a gentle, consistent accumulation and no sudden gaps or dormant periods. The 23 July 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A clean MOT record with zero advisories does not remove the need for a physical inspection. Low mileage and likely prolonged standing invite perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, droplinks, and brake hoses that testers may not flag until degradation is visible. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after idle spells, and inspect the exhaust system and underbody for structural rust given the car's age. The buyer should also verify the 2024 same-day fail-pass anomaly with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise, the Peugeot's history implies a lightly used, well-kept example with no warning signs in the official record.
