2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · HF62 FDP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The test conducted on 7 October 2025 at 82,958 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful pass in October 2024 after a failure was rectified just six days prior. The overall trend suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues immediately to maintain a clean test record. At 14 years old, the recorded 82,958 miles represent an annual average of approximately 5,926 miles, which is significantly below the national average for a petrol car of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between September 2022 and October 2023, and another 5,300 miles in the year following that. While this low-mileage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and low-frequency use. While the MOT record lacks recurring structural advisories, the failure in October 2024 at 77,305 miles suggests a minor component failure that required immediate attention. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these can perish over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for signs of pitting or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust if left stationary for extended periods.
