2016 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · CF65 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 53,342 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since early 2023, indicating that the current owner is likely addressing mechanical issues before they result in MOT failures or safety risks. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Data shows steady usage without significant gaps, moving from 31,211 miles in February 2019 to 53,342 miles by early 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has undergone minimal stress on drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake lines if the car is not driven regularly. A buyer should pay specific attention to the braking system and tyres based on historical failures. In the February 2023 test at 49,281 miles, the vehicle failed for worn front brake discs and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. A prior failure in 2020 at 37,720 miles noted insufficient brake lever travel. While these issues appear to have been rectified, an inspection should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs to ensure no pitting or thinning remains. Given the low mileage, it is also advisable to check for flat spots on the tyres or age-related sidewall cracking which often affect vehicles that sit for long periods.
