2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · EX16 AAY

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a stable maintenance trend over recent years. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 August 2025 at 38,930 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred in August 2024, the immediate retest pass two miles later suggests that the identified issues were minor and rectified promptly by the previous owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 4,800 miles, while the most recent interval saw an increase of 4,381 miles between tests. This consistent low-usage pattern typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile counterparts. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Given the clean record in the latest tests, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, and check the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking, which often occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Examine the suspension bushes and split boots for cracking, as age affects these materials more than the distance traveled. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but a visual of the underbody remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
