2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KT65 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2025-11-27 MOT at 61,750 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the immediate failure on 2025-11-26 at 61,749 miles—just one day prior—suggests potential issues that were resolved swiftly. The absence of defects in both tests implies minor or transient faults, such as sensor malfunctions or temporary system glitches, rather than structural or mechanical degradation. The pattern of alternating passes and failures since 2023 indicates inconsistent compliance, but the lack of recurring defects points to no systemic deterioration. The mileage of 61,750 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage of 6,175 miles, reflecting typical wear for a 2016 model. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, with consistent intervals between MOTs. The 2024-11-29 pass at 58,434 miles and subsequent 2024-11-22 failure at 58,331 miles occurred within a week, suggesting possible testing errors or rapid resolution of minor issues. The clean record of no defects in all tests, despite the failures, implies that the vehicle’s core systems remain intact, though vigilance is advised for potential hidden faults. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude a visual check for uneven brake disc wear or caliper binding, as these can develop between tests. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in critical areas like the chassis or sills could compromise safety. While the MOT history shows no major concerns, the frequent testing and minimal mileage suggest the vehicle has been maintained but may require closer scrutiny of its mechanical systems.
