2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AV03 RYE

The 2019 Peugeot 208 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 29 July 2025—just under a year ago—confirming no defects at 45,803 miles. The absence of advisories or repeated failures across all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained within acceptable limits for its age and mileage. However, the duplicate entry for the March 2024 test (one marked as passed, the other as failed) appears anomalous and may indicate a data error rather than a mechanical issue. No structural or safety-critical components were flagged in any test, which is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. The mileage progression of roughly 6,500 miles annually aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, without abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the September 2024 and July 2025 tests—just over ten months—is standard for MOT intervals, though the earlier March 2024 test was unusually close to the previous one in March 2023, covering only 8,000 miles in a year. This suggests either a brief period of higher usage or an early retest after minor work. No evidence of excessive wear or neglect is apparent in the record. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items such as suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or uneven wear might develop over time. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for corrosion on the discs or uneven pad thickness, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Tyre tread depth remains unrecorded, but given the mileage, a thorough check for uneven wear or embedded debris is advisable. Structural integrity—particularly around wheel arches and sills—should be examined for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration in these areas.
