2015 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · FJ15 LBK

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 59,866 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test one week earlier on 17 July 2025 at 59,810 miles where the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or unrecorded minor causes rather than mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it promptly to secure the pass. Recorded mileage sits low for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 52,481 miles at the May 2022 test to 54,946 in June 2023, then 57,738 by August 2024, and 59,866 by July 2025. That averages roughly 2,400 miles a year across the recorded span, well under the 5,442 annual figure implied by total use. The clean pass history with zero advisories across all five entries shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Low mileage and a fault-free record suggest gentle use, though long standing periods can degrade tyres, brake calipers, and suspension seals without triggering MOT advisories. The July 2025 fail with no listed defect warrants scrutiny; confirm the failure reason with the test station and check the V5C for prior keeper patterns implying skipped routine care. A buyer should still inspect in person for structural integrity issues hidden from the tester, particularly underside corrosion and perishing rubber components. Verify tyre sidewall condition, brake binding after a short drive, and coil spring fatigue. The record implies sound upkeep, but physical confirmation remains prudent given the car's age.
