2012 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · MM12 ADU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 51,337 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test eight days prior on 15 December 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 3,667 miles per year. Between 8 July 2024 and 23 December 2025, the odometer moved from 45,851 to 51,337 miles. This indicates a consistent but light usage pattern over the last eighteen months. The lack of any advisories across five tests since July 2024 suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained or lightly stressed. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as these components can seize when a car sits for long periods. The tyres should be checked for perishing or flat-spotting, regardless of remaining tread depth. The absence of recorded faults regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural rust is positive. However, the buyer should verify the age of the battery and the condition of the rubber seals and belts. Given the age of the vehicle, an oil leak inspection around the engine bay is recommended to ensure the low mileage has not masked leaks that only manifest under sustained heat and pressure.
