2016 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · GD66 SWJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 11 May 2026 at 59,584 miles with no recorded defects. This result follows a period of clean passes in the previous two years, suggesting a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests indicates that the primary safety and environmental components currently operate within acceptable tolerances as defined by DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a visible spike in usage between October 2022 at 40,885 miles and October 2023 at 54,629 miles, where the car covered nearly 14,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has regressed significantly, with only 256 miles recorded over the last twelve months. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should specifically investigate the oil leak noted during the May 2024 test at 58,339 miles. While the tester noted the leak was not an excessive oil filter failure, a physical inspection is required to ensure the issue was rectified and has not developed into a gasket failure. Given the recent low mileage usage, the buyer should also check the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can age and crack regardless of low mileage wear when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
