2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · ML66 CFD

The 2016 PEUGEOT 208 has a poor roadworthiness rating, as the MOT record indicates a consistent failure pattern of three consecutive tests in late 2024. This trend is not stable or improving; rather, it is worsening, with the most recent failure occurring in September 2024 at 48,457 miles, immediately preceding the September 2025 test. This rapid sequence of failures suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance or upkeep since the 2024 season, leaving the mechanical system in a state of significant degradation. The mileage accumulation is substantial and uneven, reflecting a pattern where the vehicle has not been driven for over ten years. The record shows a gap between the September 2024 test (48,457 miles) and the September 2025 test (52,503 miles), a period of roughly three months of inactivity. This lack of usage has allowed wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and other components to accumulate, creating a situation where the vehicle is now in a state of rapid deterioration that is difficult to detect without physical inspection. Given the recurring faults, particularly the failure of the windscreen washer and the deep tyre cut, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify structural integrity issues and assess the condition of critical components. The history reveals that the brake discs and suspension bushes are likely in poor condition, as the binding calipers and binding rear brakes were flagged in the 2023 and 2024 records. The buyer should also verify the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the engine bay, as the 2023 test failure indicates that the exhaust system may be compromised.
