2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CV66 CFM

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 22,042 miles passed with zero defects, continuing an unbroken five-year run of first-time passes with no advisories or failures. This pattern indicates the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order, with no recurring faults or emerging deterioration flagged by any tester over the recorded period. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching eleven years of age. Annual accumulation averages roughly 2,204 miles per year, with increments of approximately 2,000 to 2,700 miles between each September test. The step from 19,304 miles in September 2024 to 22,042 miles in September 2025 represents the largest single-year jump at 2,738 miles, but this remains well within normal use and does not suggest a sudden change in driving pattern. No gaps appear in the annual test record, and the consistent September scheduling suggests a single owner or disciplined annual servicing routine. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a careful physical inspection. Vehicles covering fewer than 2,500 miles per year are prone to specific issues that MOT tests do not always capture. Brake discs and calipers can develop surface corrosion from prolonged standing, leading to uneven braking or binding that may not manifest during a short test drive. Tyre sidewalls should be checked for age-related cracking, as the original rubber may still be in service despite adequate tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs can deteriorate from age rather than mileage, so a thorough check for perishing or sag is advisable. The exhaust system and underbody deserve close attention given the vehicle's age. Short-trip driving accelerates internal condensation, which corrodes exhaust components and can weaken structural mounting points before visible rust appears. A raised inspection on a ramp will reveal any early corrosion around subframes, sills, or brake lines that a standard MOT may not have flagged yet. Overall, the electronic record is as clean as any buyer could hope for, but the low-mileage profile means age-related degradation, not wear, is the primary risk to investigate before purchase.
