2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FD17 ADZ

This Peugeot 208 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 21 February 2026 at 43,599 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has maintained a clean bill of health across four consecutive years of testing. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,844 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent and linear, growing from 36,625 miles in March 2023 to 43,599 miles in February 2026. This steady increase indicates the car has been used regularly in short bursts rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. The absence of any advisories since March 2023 is rare for a vehicle of this age. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles that have spared the chassis from typical wear. A physical inspection should focus on components that do not always surface in a standard MOT. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots due to the low annual mileage. Verify the condition of the auxiliary belt and battery health, as low-mileage city cars often suffer from premature battery degradation. Inspect the brake fluid moisture content and oil condition to ensure the service intervals were met despite the low odometer readings.
