2020 Peugeot 208 Active Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · FN20 RXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 May 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a focus on reactive consumable repairs rather than preventative mechanical overhaul. While the May 2026 test initially failed due to an ineffective front windscreen wiper and a cut on the nearside front tyre, both issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to safety failures once they are flagged during testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, recording only 14,223 miles. This averages out to approximately 2,370 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the September 2024 test at 9,669 miles and the May 2026 test at 14,223 miles, representing nearly two years of travel with under five thousand miles covered. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, long periods of standing can lead to flat-spotted tyres or corrosion on the brake discs. A buyer should inspect the nearside front area specifically, as the record shows recurring issues with this tyre, including a nail in 2023 and a cut in 2026. The wiper blades should be checked for perished rubber given the age, as they recently caused a test failure. Because the 2023 advisory noted a fitted undertray obstructing testable items, a physical inspection of the underside is necessary to ensure no structural corrosion or fluid leaks are hidden behind the plastic shielding that the tester previously could not see.
