2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · J9 FHR

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 April 2025 at 76,866 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The April 2025 test pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at 76,865 miles, yet the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from April 2024, when a defect-free failure at 70,834 miles was followed by a clean pass the next day. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the three-year span reviewed. The mileage progression shows light, consistent use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car covered 63,069 miles by 24 April 2023, rose to 70,834 miles by 30 April 2024, and reached 76,866 miles by 30 April 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 to 7,700 miles per year, sitting close to the typical expectation for this age of car. The record is sparse but clean, with no gaps longer than twelve months between tests and no sudden accumulation pointing to harsh drivetrain or suspension loading. Because the DVSA entries flag no corrosion, brake binding, suspension wear, or exhaust faults, the history gives no direct evidence of underlying mechanical risk. The repeated defect-free failures without listed reasons warrant a check of the V5C and test centre notes to confirm they were procedural rather than concealed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and subframe condition, as MOT absence of advisories does not certify component life beyond the test day. Given the low annual mileage and clean test outcomes, prior keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance if not proactive servicing. The 2025 pass is roughly fourteen months old relative to today's date, so the next test is due by April 2026 and should be booked promptly by any purchaser.
