2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AP16 OCN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes across five consecutive inspections. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 25,051 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety standards without the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural degradation typically seen in older cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Peugeot, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 15,097 miles and the August 2025 test at 25,051 miles, the car covered only 9,9544 miles over four years. This low usage suggests short-distance urban commuting or long periods of stationary storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to issues such as perished rubber components or brake fluid contamination from lack of regular movement. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should physically inspect specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. You must check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or pitting caused by infrequent use, and examine the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking despite deep tread depth. Inspect the suspension bushes and split mounts for signs of cracking that occurs with age rather than mileage. Since the record shows no previous structural rust or exhaust corrosion, the primary integrity of the chassis appears well-preserved, provided the vehicle has been kept in a dry environment.
