2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FG65 FKZ

This 2016 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 October 2025 at 61,033 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is not an isolated event; it extends a consistent pattern of defect-free testing stretching back to January 2023. The vehicle has demonstrably been maintained to a standard that meets the UK roadworthiness threshold without requiring any remedial work at its last four consecutive tests. The mileage accumulation is notably linear and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the January 2023 test at 44,638 miles and the October 2025 test at 61,033 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 16,395 miles over a 33-month period, averaging around 6,000 miles per year. This steady, moderate use suggests regular driving rather than prolonged standing, which is favourable for preventing the seizure of components like brakes and the deterioration of rubber bushes and tyres. The record is clean and consistent, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in odometer readings to suggest tampering or extended periods of disuse. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of advisories is encouraging, but it does not guarantee the absence of wear. A ten-year-old vehicle with 61,033 miles will have experienced a full cycle of consumable wear. Prioritise a close examination of the tyre tread depth and condition, the thickness and condition of the brake discs and pads, and the operation of all suspension components, including the shock absorbers and suspension bushes. Check the exhaust system for corrosion and the structural underside of the vehicle for any signs of rust or previous repairs. The clean record suggests diligent ownership, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains essential to verify the long-term integrity of these mechanical and structural components.
