2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · GF68 OJR

This 2019 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 54,555 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures, indicating that all safety-critical systems met DVSA standards at that time. The absence of any recurring faults across the entire history suggests consistent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2022 test at 3,443 miles and the January 2026 test at 54,555 miles, the car covered approximately 51,112 miles over four years, averaging around 12,778 miles annually during that period. Earlier years show lower accumulation, with only 7,857 miles added between January 2022 and January 2023, suggesting a change in usage pattern or a new owner commuting more heavily. No gaps or anomalies appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The 208's rear beam axle and trailing arm bushes are known to wear prematurely on higher-mileage examples, so check for play or cracking. Inspect the front brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the 1.2-litre PureTech engine can cause caliper sticking under certain conditions. Examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as salt exposure over seven winters may have taken a toll. Verify tyre condition and date codes, since the last recorded mileage jump suggests sustained motorway use that can mask slow punctures or sidewall damage. A short test drive will reveal any binding handbrake, vague steering, or suspension knocks that a static inspection might miss.
