2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · CV16 KVF

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 115,500 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest annual cycle showing no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults. A prior failure logged on 26 March 2026 at the same mileage carried no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at retest rather than a worsening condition. Recorded mileage rose from 95,024 at the 28 March 2024 test to 104,258 by 25 March 2025, then to 115,500 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 9,200 miles in the first interval and 11,200 in the second, both close to the vehicle's 11,550-mile yearly average for its ten-year life. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. Two failures with no defects on the same dates as passes suggest clerical or documentation errors rather than neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not preclude hidden rust on sills or subframes. The lack of flagged binding calipers or worn coil springs in the record offers reassurance on the braking and suspension systems, but tyre tread and wiper condition remain consumable items outside the scope of these entries. Given the 115,500-mile count, scrutinise drivetrain noise and gearbox wear during a road test. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard with no deferred major repairs in the official data. The repeated zero-defect failures imply the vehicle was presented promptly for correction, not left idle with outstanding faults. Overall, the documentary evidence supports a sound used purchase pending hands-on verification of unseen components.
