2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DA64 GVN

The Peugeot 208 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 58,379 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every annual examination from October 2023 through October 2025 showing no advisories or recorded faults. Two anomalous entries on the same dates in 2023 and 2025 show a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileages, yet the tester logged no defects on either occasion, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 45,740 miles in October 2023, rising to 51,572 miles by October 2024, then 58,379 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 to 6,800 miles per year, well below typical averages. Long static periods are plausible given the low annual accumulation, though the DVSA data contains no gaps between tests and no sudden mileage jumps that would suggest deferred or concealed wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural items prone to deterioration on low-use cars. Standing time accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyres, and brake caliper seizure even when the MOT shows a clear sheet. The absence of corrosion or exhaust advisories in the record is reassuring, but the identical-mileage fail-pass pairs in 2023 and 2025 warrant confirmation that no suppressed defect existed at those tests. Given the unbroken pass record and modest annual coverage, prior ownership appears to have maintained statutory testing discipline. The lack of any flagged brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity issues implies no serious mechanical risk is evident from the official data. A pre-purchase check of underbody condition and brake binding remains sensible due to the vehicle's age and likely periods off the road.
