2015 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · CY65 OCR

This 2015 Peugeot 208 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on the first of April 2026 at an unspecified mileage following a refusal certificate two days prior. The record shows a curious pattern of initial test failures in both 2025 and 2026 where no specific defects were logged by the examiner, which typically points to administrative rectification, immediate retests, or minor rectifications corrected on the spot rather than deep mechanical neglect. The vehicle has accumulated 85,659 miles over its roughly eleven-year lifespan, averaging out to an entirely standard usage rate of nearly 7,800 miles annually. The chronological data shows annual testing occurring reliably every April, running from the eleventh of April 2024 through the eighth of April 2025 and culminating in the early spring tests of 2026. This consistent yearly presentation for statutory testing indicates the car has remained in active service without prolonged periods of storage or erratic mileage spikes. Inspecting this Peugeot in person requires careful attention to consumable components despite the clean defect sheets on recent certificates, as the absence of advisory notes does not guarantee fresh hardware. Buyers should thoroughly check the condition of the brake discs and pads, suspension dampers, and lower control arm bushes, as these mechanical assemblies absorb the brunt of normal UK road conditions at this mileage. A physical examination of the underbody and subframes for surface corrosion remains prudent given the vehicle's age, alongside verifying that all electrical systems and emission controls operate correctly.
