2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · GF64 ABU

The 2014 Peugeot 208 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record since its most recent MOT test on 1st August 2025, passing without any defects at 73,793 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including a rare double-test in July 2024 where it passed on the second attempt—suggests the vehicle has been reliably maintained within legal limits. However, the July 2024 failure, despite occurring at the same mileage as the subsequent pass, raises a minor concern over potential examiner variability or a narrowly avoided issue that was rectified before the retest. Overall, the trend remains stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical conditions. The recorded mileage of 73,793 miles over twelve years—approximately 6,150 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age, indicating neither excessive wear nor prolonged neglect. The gap between the December 2022 and July 2023 tests (around 10,757 miles in five months) suggests the vehicle was actively used during that period, though the subsequent intervals of roughly 7,000 miles per year imply a steady, moderate driving pattern. There are no red flags in the mileage progression, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means potential hidden wear—such as suspension bushes or brake pad degradation—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of high-wear components that aren’t always captured in a standard test. The suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, warrants close inspection for cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle was driven through wet or heavy loads. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounts, is also critical, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. While the MOT record shows no failures, these areas are not routinely tested for subtle deterioration.
