2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CG05 HAZ

The 2015 Peugeot 208’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-21 at 49,531 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects listed, creating ambiguity. Earlier MOTs from 2024-03-18 (48,058 miles) and 2023-03-21 (46,333 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent compliance. The absence of recorded defects in all tests implies no critical mechanical or structural failures, though the repeated failed results without explanation warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,531 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 4,503 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, potentially affecting components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. A 16-month gap between the 2023 and 2025 MOTs raises questions about maintenance continuity, though the clean defect history mitigates immediate concerns. The sparse data lacks details on consumables or minor issues, limiting a full assessment of wear patterns. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask dry rot or stiffness. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored. The exhaust system and body panels require scrutiny for rust, given the lack of emissions or structural reports. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the inconsistent failed tests and minimal data suggest verifying service history and conducting a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
