2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AF67 TJO

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test. The February 2026 examination at 73,032 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every recorded test from September 2023 through February 2026 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. The single February 2026 failure entry at identical mileage and date carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 2017 vehicle. The car covered 58,025 miles by September 2023, rose to 66,662 by August 2024, then 68,390 by March 2025, reaching 73,032 in February 2026. Annual accumulation averages near 8,100 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The five-month gap between the August 2024 and March 2025 tests is unremarkable. Clean records across all entries suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Absence of advisories does not confirm suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness are mid-life rather than near limit. The clean emissions and corrosion results from February 2026 offer no guarantee of underlying structural integrity beyond the test bay. Given the sparse but consistent history, prioritise a workshop check of underbody corrosion, brake caliper operation, and tyre sidewall condition. The record implies competent routine upkeep rather than deferred maintenance, yet nine years of age warrants direct verification of wear components the MOT does not measure in depth.
