2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MV66 EYY

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 90,436 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of mechanical concern in late 2024. While the car showed issues with braking and exhaust previously, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner addressed the identified faults to bring the vehicle back to standard. At 90,436 miles over ten years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK national averages for a small hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the November 2023 and October 2024 tests. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front-end geometry based on historical data. The 2024 test flagged a nearside rear parking brake that only just met efficiency requirements, indicating a potential for a seizing mechanism or worn adjuster. Although the 2025 test was clear, the previous failure for an offside front tyre worn to the limit and a nearside front worn edge suggests past alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. You should check for uneven wear on the current tyres to ensure the suspension geometry remains within specification. The front exhaust flexi noted as worn in 2024 is also a component to monitor for future cracks or leaks, as these parts are prone to failure after high mileage. Given the car is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the shock absorbers and suspension mounts is advisable, as the record does not show any structural corrosion issues, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
