2016 Peugeot 208 Active 1.2L Petrol · EL08 LAV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 at 70,260 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just eighteen days prior on 12 March 2026 at 69,782 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the retest without flagging further mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a decade-old small hatchback, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 49,250 miles and February 2025 at 63,264 miles, the car covered 14,014 miles over roughly thirty-nine months. The subsequent interval of 7,000 miles between February 2025 and March 2026 shows a steady rate of use. This low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage urban vehicles. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not cover. A buyer should check the condition of rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish over ten years regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the brake discs for corrosion and checking the brake fluid for moisture is advisable, as long periods of standing can sometimes lead to seized calipers or degraded hydraulic lines.
