2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CV66 CFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a period of developing front-end wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 41,238 miles passed with only a minor defect noted regarding the nearside registration plate lamp. This represents a stable status following a mechanical failure in early 2025, suggesting that the primary issues identified by the tester were addressed and rectified before the subsequent retest. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. Between January 2023 and February 2026, the car covered only 5,220 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use or long storage periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking surfaces. The gaps between tests are consistent with annual requirements, showing that the owner has maintained a regular testing schedule despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the nearside front wheel bearing assembly. The tester flagged a slightly noisy bearing in January 2024 at 36,725 miles, which progressed into a failure for excessive play by January 2025 at 38,358 miles. Although this component appears to have been replaced, a physical inspection is necessary to ensure the work was completed correctly without secondary damage to the hub or suspension geometry. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and caliper corrosion, as these often suffer on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
