2015 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · C10 AAG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 88,888 miles. While the current status is a pass, the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test only a few days before passing on a re-test. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by a legal requirement rather than performing preventative maintenance. However, the lack of recorded defects on the latest certificate indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum safety standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 71,992 miles and the July 2024 test at 81,823 miles, the car covered 10,000 miles, showing a slight increase in usage. The subsequent 7,065 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025 reflects a steady usage pattern. This regular mileage generally reduces the risk of issues related to long periods, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components, but does place standard wear on suspension bushes and drivetrain parts. Because the MOT records show no specific defects despite the previous failures, a buyer must manually inspect common Peugeot failure points such as exhaust corrosion, oil leaks, and uneven tyre wear. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension and lower control arms, as these are often the first to show fatigue on this model. Given the history of reactive repairs, checking the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs is essential to ensure no lingering binding issues were masked during the last two successful inspections.
