2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CK66 DZD

The 2016 Peugeot 208 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with both the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests passing without defects at 17,333 and 26,089 miles respectively. The most recent test on 2025-08-28 confirms no outstanding issues, though the 2021 data includes a curious anomaly: a failure on 2021-10-08 at 17,326 miles—despite no recorded defects—followed by an immediate pass the next day at the same mileage. This suggests either a clerical error or a minor oversight resolved before retesting. Beyond that, the absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last three tests implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence exists of proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements. The recorded mileage of 26,089 miles over nearly ten years reflects an unusually low annual average of approximately 2,609 miles, well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2024 tests—where mileage remained static at 17,326 miles—indicates prolonged inactivity, which could accelerate wear on fluids, tyres, and suspension components if not addressed. The lack of significant mileage accumulation between 2021 and 2024 might also suggest periods of storage, potentially exposing the vehicle to moisture-related corrosion or battery discharge. The recent increase to 26,089 miles by 2025-08-28 suggests current use, but the extended dormancy period warrants scrutiny of items prone to neglect, such as brake fluid condition and suspension bush deterioration. Given the clean MOT history since 2024, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—due to the vehicle’s prolonged inactivity. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these are intact, as MOT tests do not always detect early-stage wear. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle was stationary for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Tyres, despite passing MOTs, may show uneven tread wear from uneven loading during storage, and their age (assuming they were fitted in 2016) should be checked against the 10-year limit. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel bearings, as static vehicles are more susceptible to rust progression.
