2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CU18 LRJ

The 2018 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 March 2025 at 44,235 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 15 April 2023 at 41,614 miles is anomalous: the vehicle failed and passed on the same day with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage remains low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 36,320 miles at the 18 March 2022 test, rising to 41,614 by April 2023, then 42,974 in April 2024 and 44,235 by March 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 to 1,300 miles per year across the last three intervals, well below typical use. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension components, and underbody structure even where the MOT shows clean results. The absence of advisories across all tests means no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake pads, or suspension bushes were flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the brake calipers for binding after standing, check coil springs and subframe mounts for rust, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The same-day fail-pass in 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm no suppressed defect entry exists. Given the clean history and low mileage, the vehicle shows no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep or structural neglect. Previous owners appear to have stored it lightly and presented it for timely annual testing. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the MOT record matches the car's physical condition.
