2012 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FN62 JPU

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 147,622 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects over the past three years. Mileage sits at 147,622 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 135,449 miles in September 2022, 139,299 by October 2023, 143,488 by October 2024, and 147,622 by November 2025. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry for 22 September 2022 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects listed on either record. This suggests an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the condition of consumable items like tyres and wiper blades which the tests did not flag. The absence of advisories across four years does not exempt the car from age-related wear on coil springs or binding calipers that a static test may miss.
