2014 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · KT14 TZY

The 2014 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test, conducted on 3 January 2024 at 119,234 miles, resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with a consistent pattern of passes across the documented history, indicates a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the car has moved from earlier dual-test events to a straightforward first-time pass in its most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,936 miles per year over twelve years sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a supermini of this age. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 86,918 miles in August 2021, 106,158 miles in August 2022, and 119,234 miles in January 2024. This equates to approximately 19,240 miles over the fourteen-month gap between 2022 and 2024, which is slightly elevated but not excessive. A notable gap exists between the January 2024 test and today, June 2026, with no subsequent MOT recorded despite the vehicle being overdue for its annual test by roughly seventeen months. This absence of recent certification is the single most significant concern in the record and warrants immediate attention from any prospective buyer. The dual entries on both 11 January 2024 and 11 August 2022, where a failure and pass appear on the same date at identical mileages, suggest retests following minor rectifications rather than serious mechanical failures. No specific defects were recorded in either case, meaning the initial failures likely involved easily resolved items such as bulb replacements or emissions calibration. The complete absence of advisories across all documented tests is unusual and points to a vehicle that has been kept in above-average condition, with no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake components, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully capture. The seventeen-month gap since the last test means consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and wiper blades may have degraded through age and use. Suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, should be examined for corrosion or leaks given the vehicle's age. The exhaust system and catalytic converter deserve close scrutiny, as emissions compliance can drift between tests without triggering a formal advisory. Finally, a fresh MOT should be arranged before purchase to verify that the vehicle still meets current roadworthiness standards after its prolonged period without inspection.
