2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LG64 DWM

This 2014 Peugeot 208 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The most recent test, conducted on 4 August 2025 at 20,998 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes across all five MOT cycles suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the relatively low mileage. The mileage progression indicates an unusually low annual average of approximately 1,750 miles, which is well below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2021 and 2022 tests, the mileage increased by just 944 miles over a year, and the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests saw an even smaller increment of 871 miles. Such minimal mileage accumulation raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions or usage patterns, which could contribute to accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to prolonged inactivity. The consistent pass without advisories may also imply that minor issues were addressed privately, but this cannot be confirmed from the MOT record alone. Given the vehicle’s age and the lack of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely checked during an MOT. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to degradation over time even with low mileage. The brake system warrants close examination, including the rear calipers for binding or excessive wear, as well as the front and rear brake discs for uneven thickness or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly for signs of corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, which can compromise the vehicle’s safety even if the MOT has not flagged them. Tyre tread depth, while not a concern here, should still be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been maintained. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points in older vehicles.
