2021 Peugeot 208 GT Premium Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · ME21 LZL

The 2025‑12‑09 MOT at 14,448 miles confirmed the vehicle remains roadworthy. The tester noted only a superficial cut on the near‑side front tyre, a consumable issue that does not compromise safety. No other defects were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a five‑year‑old car. From 11,854 miles in December 2023 to 13,021 miles in December 2024, the vehicle accumulated 1,167 miles, and then 1,427 miles to reach 14,448 miles by December 2025. This equates to roughly 2,890 miles per year, suggesting limited daily use or extended periods of inactivity. The data set is sparse but clean; there are no sudden spikes or gaps that would hint at irregular usage or missed servicing intervals. When inspecting the car in person, start with the tyre that was flagged. Verify the cut does not extend to the ply or cords and replace the tyre if the tread depth is below the legal minimum. Check the remaining three tyres for even wear, sidewall integrity, and correct pressure. Inspect the brake system: look for uneven disc wear, caliper function, and brake fluid levels. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, and confirm the steering linkage is free of binding. A visual scan of the chassis and body should reveal any rust or corrosion, especially in the wheel arches and under‑body panels. Finally, confirm that all safety equipment—seat belts, airbags, and the vehicle’s electronic control units—are operational and that no warning lights are illuminated on the dash. In summary, the vehicle’s MOT history shows it is roadworthy with a minor tyre issue that can be remedied. The low mileage suggests reduced wear on consumables, but a thorough physical check of tyres, brakes, suspension, and corrosion remains essential before purchase.
