2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · FE21 AWZ

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 40,497 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding April 2025 and April 2024 tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the four-year DVSA record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old car. The record shows 24,981 miles at the April 2024 test, rising to 33,434 miles by April 2025 and 40,497 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The sparse but clean history gives little basis to suspect neglected consumable replacement, though the absence of advisories means wear items were either within limits or not scrutinised closely enough to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and coil springs given the low annual use can mask perished rubber and corroded calipers from infrequent movement. The February 2026 pass confirms no active structural integrity or exhaust emissions concerns at test, yet the 2025 duplicate entry showing a fail and pass on the same date with no defects recorded warrants verification of the DVSA log to rule out administrative anomaly rather than a resolved fault. Prior ownership appears disciplined in presenting the car for annual testing. The clean sheet across three successive examinations suggests basic upkeep was maintained, though the short interval between the April 2025 fail and pass leaves a minor question over test centre discrepancy rather than mechanical decline.
