2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · DG21 VJC

This Peugeot 208 demonstrates a consistently clean MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded in either of the two most recent tests. The most recent inspection on 14 May 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed full roadworthiness at 23,395 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet minimum legal standards without any recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories implies no hidden or deferred issues were carried over from previous tests, though this does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds or pre-existing damage not captured in the record. The recorded mileage of 23,395 miles over five years—approximately 4,679 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the model’s typical usage patterns. The gap between tests, spanning 1,572 miles (from 15,723 to 23,395), aligns with the MOT’s 12-month validity period rather than aggressive driving habits. Such low mileage could indicate limited use, storage, or even potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The lack of mileage spikes or abrupt jumps also suggests no forced or emergency maintenance cycles, which might have triggered earlier test failures. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Tyre condition should be verified beyond the legal tread depth, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee consistent tread depth or sidewall integrity. Finally, check for signs of structural corrosion, particularly in the floor pans and rear subframe, as low mileage does not preclude environmental exposure or neglect during storage.
