2021 Peugeot 208 Active Premium Ptech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · JM58 POP

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following the test conducted on 25 June 2025 at 4,521 miles. This record indicates a stable maintenance history, as the car has passed its most recent inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. While the initial failure on the same date as the pass suggests a minor administrative or testing discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault, the absence of listed defects across the last two years points to a vehicle that has not required significant remedial work. The recorded mileage of 4,521 miles over a five-year period confirms a pattern of light, intermittent usage, averaging roughly 900 miles per annum. Such low mileage often indicates that the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary. While this limits wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, it can lead to issues related to long-term inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, degraded fuel quality, or battery discharge. The consistent, low-mileage progression between the 3,786 miles recorded in June 2024 and the current reading suggests the car has been used sparingly rather than left entirely abandoned. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to degradation from lack of use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers due to infrequent operation. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds can deteriorate over five years even when the tread depth remains sufficient. Verify the condition of the battery and ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold, as the short, infrequent journeys typical of this vehicle's history can prevent the battery from maintaining a full charge and may cause carbon buildup within the induction system.
