2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · BX17 XNB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 37,528 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car consistently meets minimum standards across the last three passing tests. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defect descriptions suggests administrative errors or minor issues that were rectified instantly without indicating deep mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,170 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 31,012 miles and the March 2025 test at 33,806 miles, the car covered only 2,794 miles. Another 3,722 miles were clocked leading to the February 2026 test. This low-usage pattern typically minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of dry component failure or rubber-related perish due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components prone to age in low-mileage cars. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for signs of corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to moisture retention. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting and binding calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits for long periods. Given the age, verify the condition of the tyres sidewalls for age-related despite potentially high tread depth.
