2022 Peugeot 208 Active Premium + Ptch SS A 1.2L Petrol · CF22 RFO

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 1st August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although a failure was noted on 25th July 2025, the absence of specific defect descriptions in the official record suggests that the issue was likely a minor or non-structural item that was rectified immediately to facilitate the passing result. Consequently, the maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle meeting all essential safety and environmental standards at its most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 42,502 miles over a four-year period equates to an annual average of approximately 10,626 miles. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this class, indicating a balanced mix of driving that avoids the extremes of excessive motorway running or the heavy wear associated with very high-mileage urban use. Mechanically, this suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components should be in a serviceable condition, though they are approaching the age where certain consumable items will require closer monitoring. As the MOT history is currently clear of advisories, your inspection should focus on age-related wear and preventative maintenance. Examine the tyres thoroughly for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur regardless of tread depth if the vehicle has been stored in suboptimal conditions. During your test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might indicate worn bushes or damper fatigue, and check for any brake shudder or pulling to the side, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. Additionally, verify the service history to confirm that scheduled oil changes and fluid replacements have been carried out, as the MOT only assesses roadworthiness and not the chemical integrity of engine oil, brake fluid, or coolant. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to check the health of the 12V battery and inspect the engine bay for any evidence of minor weeping from seals or hoses. Ensuring that all electrical components and the air conditioning system function correctly will provide further assurance of the vehicle's overall condition.
