2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · BP16 XDA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 March 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status is stable and compliant with current standards. The record shows a clean history over the last three annual inspections, with no recorded defects or advisories noted by testing stations. While the vehicle failed its initial presentation on the day of the test in both 2025 and 2026, the immediate re-test pass suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than underlying mechanical failures. Accumulating 58,612 miles over a ten-year period averages to approximately 5,860 miles per annum, which sits well below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression remains consistent, with roughly 9,500 miles added between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by an additional 8,000 miles leading up to the most recent test in March 2026. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has been driven regularly rather than left to stand for extended periods, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, battery health, and brake components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable items that typically require attention at this age, specifically the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are not always flagged as advisories until they reach the limit of their service life. Given the Peugeot 208 platform, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these components often show wear after a decade of road use. Inspect the underside for any evidence of surface corrosion on the chassis or subframe, and verify that the tyre tread depths are uniform across all four corners. Since the MOT history is devoid of technical advisories, a thorough test drive is essential to confirm the engine and transmission operate smoothly without hesitation or unusual noise.
