2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · GD16 SYT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 May 2025 at 36,825 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows several years of successful inspections without advisories, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,682 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 27,421 miles and May 2025 at 36,825 miles, the car covered only 9,404 miles over three years. This low rate of usage typically results in less wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components. However, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related perish of rubber components or fluid-related issues regardless of the low odometer reading. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should physically inspect specific areas affected by low-mileage use. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and calipers, as these vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion or seizing when not driven frequently. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, which occurs over time rather than through mileage. The single failure recorded on 24 May 2023 at 31,858 miles was rectified immediately for a pass on the same day, but verifying the nature of that specific fault would ensure no recurring mechanical issue persists.
