2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · FH16 REU

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 60,557 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage accumulation has been modest and consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,997 miles at the 16 November 2021 test, rising to 36,625 by 30 October 2022, then 39,878 on 17 May 2023, 49,183 on 15 May 2024, and 60,557 on 16 May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or unexplained gaps. The five consecutive passes with zero advisories indicate the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test rather than letting minor wear escalate. No advisories were raised on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any point. The absence of flagged items means the MOT record alone gives no evidence of worsening mechanical risk. A clean sheet across five years suggests competent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free history. Low annual mileage can allow moisture trapped in sills and floor pans to promote hidden corrosion, and standing periods may stiffen brake hoses or flat-spot tyres. Verify the condition of underbody structural integrity, brake flex lines, and tyre sidewalls before purchase, as these are not always exposed during a standard MOT.
