2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DA62 THK

The 2012 Peugeot 208 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 19 February 2026 at 58,658 miles returned a clean pass, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since September 2022. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical or structural concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 58,658 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,190 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and consistent use: 43,574 miles in September 2022, rising to 47,821 by September 2023, then 49,282 in February 2024, 53,922 in February 2025, and 58,658 in February 2026. No abrupt accumulation or dormant gaps appear. Low annual coverage of this nature often signals short urban journeys or extended standing periods, neither of which the test history contradicts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points, as corrosion can develop on a low-use vehicle left exposed to road salt despite a clean MOT sheet. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, so no recurring wear pattern demands urgent attention. Given the absent advisory history, previous keepers appear to have addressed consumables before each test rather than deferring them. Verify the cambelt interval for this Peugeot unit and confirm fresh oil service evidence, since sparse mileage can mask stale lubrication. The record implies conscientious upkeep, but static age-related degradation remains invisible to a pass result alone.
