2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MM12 ACY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 3 January 2026 at 58,970 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of clean passes dating back to December 2022, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets all legal safety requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,212 miles per year. The odometer readings show steady, low-volume usage, increasing from 46,416 miles in December 2022 to 58,970 miles by January 2026. A brief anomaly occurred on 2 January 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 50,189 miles. The lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean and lacks any mentioned advisories, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests a well-preserved example. However, low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber components or seized calipers due to inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and brake pads to ensure they have not aged out despite low wear. Check for signs of perished seals or leaks in the suspension and engine bay. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody is advised, as MOT testers may overlook minor surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity.
