2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FM15 ABK

The 2015 Peugeot 208 presents a roadworthy condition based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-09 at 86,716 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior test on 2025-03-27 at 83,601 miles also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a failure on 2025-02-20 at 83,559 miles—despite no defects being logged—suggests a potential procedural inconsistency or unrecorded issue. The absence of mechanical or safety faults in the last three tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the February 2025 failure warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,883 miles annually. The MOTs show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2024-02-14 (74,708 miles) and 2023-02-20 (65,362 miles), reflecting a 9,346-mile increase over 12 months. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show consistent mileage accumulation, with no significant spikes or prolonged inactivity. The record is largely clean, with no recurring defects or advisories, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related issues in the MOTs is reassuring, but a closer check of the brake discs and calipers is advisable to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage could affect long-term reliability. The lack of exhaust emission failures is positive, but a pre-purchase check by a qualified mechanic is recommended to validate the MOT findings.
