2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CF65 ACY

The Peugeot 208 is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑08 at 83 066 mi recorded only advisories for nearside and offside front brake discs worn within acceptable limits (1.1.14 (a)(i)). This follows a clear improvement after the failures of 2022‑2023, where coil‑spring corrosion, brake‑pad thinning, exhaust insecurity and tyre‑tread deficiencies were repeatedly flagged. The pattern shows the vehicle has been repaired or serviced to a standard that now meets the minimum criteria, with no active failures. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old model. From the 2018 entry at 31 995 mi to the present 83 066 mi, the car has added roughly 8 300 mi per year, a rate that matches the average wear curve for this age bracket. MOT tests have been conducted annually in December, with no significant gaps in the record; the last test falls seven months before the current date, indicating a recent and relevant assessment. A prospective buyer should inspect the coil springs for corrosion on all four corners, as this fault recurred from 2022 through 2023 and may affect suspension geometry. Brake pads and discs merit close scrutiny; the 2021‑2022 logs show pads thinner than 1.5 mm and disc pitting, while the latest test only notes wear within limits, suggesting pads may need replacement soon. The exhaust mounting points should be examined for security, given repeated failures on both nearside and offside rear systems. Finally, tyre condition warrants a hands‑on check: tread depth, edge wear and uneven wear patterns were noted on front tyres, indicating possible alignment or suspension issues that should be verified before purchase.
