2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · FJ17 VGP

The Peugeot 208 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 114,228 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every successful examination without advisories. Two failed entries on the same dates as passes, at 101,617 miles on 23 March 2024 and again at 114,228 miles on 18 March 2026, show no defects logged against them, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 114,228 at nine years old equates to roughly 12,692 miles per year, which sits above the typical average for a supermini of this class and points to steady commuter use rather than neglect through standing. Annual increments confirm consistent running: 101,619 miles in March 2024 rose to 109,348 by March 2025 and 114,228 by March 2026, a spread of under 13,000 miles each year. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with no advisories or component-specific notes across any test, so the file gives little insight into wear beyond the odometer. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as high annual mileage accelerates fatigue in these areas even when the MOT log stays clean. The twin fail-and-pass pairs on identical dates suggest the vehicle may have been presented with minor paperwork or lighting issues now resolved, but the absence of recorded defects offers no evidence of structural corrosion or binding calipers. Given the clean advisory history and stable pass rate, the mechanical risk reads as low on paper. Physical checks of exhaust emissions, underbody integrity, and tyre condition remain sensible before purchase due to the elevated mileage for the age.
