MT64 AAF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2014 Peugeot 208 (MT64 AAF) between October 2017 and October 2026.
The record contains 10 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 22 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 19 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.

Our Verdict
This 2014 Peugeot 208 carries notable ri
Given the failed MOT in September 2024 and the cluster of advisories around the exhaust system, you should physically inspect the full exhaust assembly, including the centre section mentioned in 2025 and the front mounting noted in 2022 and 2023. Exhaust repairs on the 208 are typically modest, but a recurring leak suggests the underlying mounting or joint may need replacing rather than a simple patch. Budget for at least two new front tyres and a set of front brake pads, as both have been flagged as worn in 2022 and 2025.
The track rod end failure and subsequent advisory for the offside front dust cover in 2025 indicate the steering front-end is showing wear consistent with higher-mileage use. Have an independent garage carry out a steering geometry and track rod end check, as replacing these components alongside a wheel alignment typically costs in the region of £200-£300. Given the vehicle is now approaching 12 years old with 77,097 miles recorded, also ask for any service invoices or history beyond MOT records — a documented cambelt change interval on the 1.2-litre petrol engine is important, with replacement typically due around every 80,000 miles or eight years.
The 1.2-litre petrol Peugeot 208 from this era typically returns around 50-55 mpg in mixed driving, with combined WLTP-style figures closer to 52 mpg. Road tax for a petrol 208 of this age falls in the £20-£35 annual bracket depending on exact CO2 banding, while insurance tends to sit in groups 8-12, keeping premiums relatively affordable for a small supermini. Routine servicing including oil and filter changes is generally in the £130-£180 range at independent garages.
Adding in brake and tyre wear items, exhaust repairs, and occasional track rod end replacement based on this vehicle's MOT pattern, a realistic annual running cost is in the region of £1,400-£1,800. Fuel alone at 9,000-10,000 miles per year at current prices would equate to roughly £1,200-£1,400, so maintenance and consumables are a comparatively small additional outlay. The 1.2-litre PureTech engine in earlier 208s is simpler than the later three-cylinder units and is not known for the timing belt issues affecting newer variants.
Start the inspection at the exhaust: the 2024 failure flagged a minor leak at the central front section, and the same area was noted again in 2025 alongside an exhaust mounting defect advisory that has also appeared in 2022 and 2023. A visual check underneath the car for soot deposits, hanging mounts, or corrosion around the front pipe joint is worthwhile, as is listening for a rasping or ticking noise on cold start. Confirm the catalytic converter and lambda sensors are intact, as these are costly items on the 1.2-litre petrol unit.
The steering and suspension deserve close attention given the September 2024 track rod end failure and the 2025 advisory for a deteriorated offside front track rod end dust cover. With the car on a ramp or with the front wheels off the ground, check for play in both front wheel bearings, the remaining track rod ends, and the drop links, as components worn in pairs are common on small Peugeots of this age. Tyres and brake wear should be measured physically — the 2022 advisory flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the 2025 test noted both front inner brake pads as wearing thin, suggesting these are consumables that may need immediate replacement.
Recorded MOT history covers five tests between 2022 and 2025, showing annualised mileage of roughly 7,800 miles — above the Peugeot 208 model average of 5,898 miles per year. One failure occurred in September 2024 at 76,765 miles, primarily caused by an exhaust leak and a worn nearside front track rod end, with a pass recorded the following day after repair. Multiple advisories across tests point to recurring exhaust mounting defects, front brake imbalance, and tyre wear close to legal limits.
Across 186,563 Peugeot 208 examples analysed, the model achieves a 79.7% MOT pass rate, with the most common failure reasons being exhaust issues, drive shaft joint wear, and tyre-related defects — all of which align with the advisories and failure seen on this specific vehicle.
