2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CY65 AEF

The 2015 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 21,880 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 3 October 2023 at 20,600 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have accumulated across the observed period. The August 2024 entry shows a failed test on 8 August at 21,347 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 21,880 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,989 miles per year. The car covered only 876 miles between the September 2022 test at 19,471 miles and the October 2023 test at 20,600 miles, then 747 miles to the August 2024 reading of 21,347 miles, and a mere 533 miles to July 2025. Such low annual use over a long interval suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishable component degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers even where the MOT shows no faults. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system for binding calipers or corroded discs given the limited rotation of the hubs in storage. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant close examination for perishing from inactivity rather than cyclical wear. The DVSA record carries no structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures, so the chassis and powertrain appear sound on paper. Given the clean advisory history, previous keepers maintained statutory test compliance but the sparse mileage means consumables may degrade invisibly. Verify underside condition and brake freedom before purchase, as low-use Peugeots of this era often hide dormant faults absent from a passing MOT.
