2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AF66 JZR

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 55,200 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilization following a period of reactive repairs in the previous year. While the history indicates specific mechanical and lighting failures, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the current owner is addressing identified faults before they result in a re-test. At 55,200 miles over ten years, the Peugeot reflects significantly low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a jump of 11,800 miles recorded between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 12,766 miles covered in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and brake components if the vehicle sits for long periods. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the exhaust system, as the 2025 test at 42,434 miles flagged defective welds on the front exhaust mounting. Although this passed since, the structural integrity of the mounting hangers and brackets should be checked for signs of vibration-induced fatigue. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding the offside front headlamp indicates a past electrical or bulb issue that should be monitored for recurring wiring faults or housing failure. The 2024 failure at 30,634 miles due to exposed cords on both rear tyres highlights a period of neglect regarding basic tyre maintenance. The buyer must verify that these tyres have been replaced with high-quality units and that the remaining tyres have sufficient tread and do not show signs of dry rot or cracking. Given the low mileage, checking the brake discs for corrosion and the calipers for binding is advisable, as these components often suffer when a vehicle is not used frequently enough to clear surface rust.
