2012 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · MJ62 ACF

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 102,022 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating that the vehicle has avoided significant structural or mechanical failures that would typically trigger an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered approximately 27,000 miles, averaging roughly 6,750 miles per annum. The jump from 86,141 miles in October 2023 to 93,687 miles in October 2024 shows a steady usage rate, while the recent increase to 102,022 miles suggests the vehicle remains in regular service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, the lack of advisories does not account for the natural wear of consumables. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the brake discs for scoring and check the calipers for signs of binding, as these issues often do not appear on an MOT certificate until they reach a failure threshold. Given the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, specific attention should be paid to the timing belt and water pump service intervals. Although the MOT record is clean, the absence of recorded faults in the suspension or chassis components suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but a manual check of the underside for surface corrosion remains a prudent step for a car of this age.
