2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FD17 AEA

The 2017 Peugeot 208 remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-30 at 72,598 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with four consecutive passes from 2022 to 2025, including the latest test. A single failure on 2022-09-16 at 41,112 miles is noted, though no defects were listed, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved before retesting. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the record, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 72,598 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage, averaging 8,066 miles annually. Gaps between tests, such as the 13,480-mile increase from 2022-09-16 (41,112 miles) to 2023-09-19 (54,592 miles), suggest periods of higher usage, while the slower accumulation from 2024-09-07 (64,750 miles) to 2025-08-30 (72,598 miles) reflects more regular driving. The MOT history is largely clean, with no advisories or critical failures, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was aFalse positive or an overlooked issue. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural rust is not flagged in the record, but a thorough underbody inspection is advisable, especially if the car has been exposed to coastal or salty environments. The absence of defects in recent tests implies no urgent concerns, but a pre-purchase survey should verify the integrity of high-mileage components like the drivetrain and exhaust system.
