2012 Peugeot 208 1.4L Petrol · EF12 ABZ

The vehicle is currently in a stable state of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 4 August 2025 at 87,134 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,224 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 78,456 miles and the August 2025 test at 87,134 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,300 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration from standing. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no advisories listed for consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes across multiple years. While this indicates a well-kept car, it is rare for a vehicle of this age to show zero wear on common components. A buyer should manually inspect the brake pads and tyre tread depths to ensure they are not nearing their legal limit, as the record does not provide a granular view of wear and tear. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not flag structural integrity issues but does not explicitly confirm a detailed underseal inspection. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and verifying the service history for timing belt or water pump replacements is advisable, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT test.
