2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AJ62 CSU

The 2012 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 83,510 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from November 2022 through November 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 27 November 2023 at 76,393 miles, immediately retested and passed the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Recorded mileage sits at 83,510 against an age of roughly 14 years, equating to about 5,965 miles per year. The odometer moved from 71,417 in November 2022 to 76,393 in November 2023, then 80,129 in November 2024, and 83,510 by August 2025. The yearly increments of 4,976, 3,736, and 3,381 miles show light, consistent use with no rapid accumulation. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work across the recorded period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers not captured in a pass result. The same-day fail and pass in November 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code if available, though no defects appear on the supplied record. No recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in the history. The low mileage and clean tests suggest careful previous ownership, but pre-purchase checks on underside rust and fluid condition remain prudent for a 2012 hatchback.
