2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DY68 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent MOT pass on 7 May 2025 at 47,509 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting that previous issues have been resolved. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from failed tests in 2023 and 2024 to a clean certificate in the most recent period. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,939 miles per year. Between 10 May 2023 and 1 May 2024, the car covered 10,190 miles, indicating a period of more regular use compared to its overall lifetime average. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern, though the failures recorded in May 2023 and May 2024 suggest that minor non-compliance issues were present during those specific inspections before being rectified. While the current MOT record is clean, a prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system and braking components. The previous failures in 2023 and 2024, despite no specific defects being listed in the summary, imply that the vehicle may have required attention to consumables or minor mechanical adjustments to achieve passing results. Focus should be placed on checking for uneven tyre wear, inspecting the condition of the brake discs for pitting or scoring, and verifying the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the low annual mileage, there is a possibility of the vehicle sitting idle for extended periods. This can lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. A thorough check of the battery health and the condition of all fluid levels is recommended to ensure that the low usage has not resulted in neglected maintenance of the drivetrain or engine bay.
