2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MH16 VWF

The 2016 PEUGEOT 208 holds a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 52,591 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the record shows a clean sheet since 2022 and no structural or mechanical failures across seven tests spanning from June 2019 to December 2025. The vehicle has consistently cleared its annual inspections without advisory items on the latest certificate, indicating that previous faults have been resolved or were minor consumable wear. The mileage progression reflects low annual usage, averaging roughly 5,259 miles per year over the ten-year lifespan, with the odometer advancing from 18,003 miles in June 2019 to 52,591 miles by December 2025. The gaps between tests remain consistent at roughly twelve-month intervals, and the mileage accumulation is steady without sudden jumps that might suggest a clocked instrument or periods of heavy use. This slow mileage rate suggests the car has seen light duty or extended storage, which typically reduces wear on brakes, clutch, and drivetrain components but can introduce issues with rubber seals and battery health if the vehicle sits idle for long stretches. The tester flagged an insecure battery in the December 2024 and November 2023 tests under regulation 4.13(a)(i), noting it was not likely to fall from its carrier, which points to a loose hold-down strap or corroded terminal that a buyer should inspect for tension and terminal condition. The December 2024 test also recorded the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly worn on the edge, a consumable defect that suggests basic upkeep was skipped or alignment may be off, warranting a check of the tyre tread depth and front-end geometry. No structural rust, suspension defects, binding brakes, or exhaust emissions faults appear in the history, so the buyer can focus the in-person inspection on the battery mounting, tyre condition, and general rubber integrity given the low annual mileage.
