2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · BD16 KFA

This Peugeot 208 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2025 at 71,095 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,110 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 4 April 2023 and 12 April 2024, where the odometer rose from 56,248 to 67,612 miles. Since then, the mileage has plateaued significantly, covering only 3,483 miles over the subsequent 14 months leading up to the February 2025 test. This suggests a recent shift toward lighter use or periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While the 3 December 2024 failure was resolved within two days, the record does not specify the cause of that failure. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bush wear across multiple tests is uncommon for a ten year old vehicle. This lack of data means the record does not provide a roadmap of wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these often develop before becoming a testable failure. Inspect the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads manually to ensure they have not reached a limit since the February 2025 test. Given the recent low mileage, verify that the battery holds a charge and that the brakes have not seized due to inactivity.
