2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MW68 ABK

The 2018 Peugeot 208 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent September 2025 MOT at 20,017 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed, though a failed test on 2024-10-08 at 17,353 miles occurred without recorded issues. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor technical fault resolved by the subsequent pass the following day. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 20,017 miles over eight years equates to approximately 2,502 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged storage, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers through inactivity. Notably, the 2023-10-13 test at 11,927 miles showed a 4,516-mile jump from the 2022-10-06 test, raising questions about potential gaps in service intervals. However, the absence of defects in all but the 2024-10-08 test suggests no critical deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, common in low-mileage vehicles. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity may lead to seized parts. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the record, but the lack of rust or bodywork issues in MOTs implies no immediate concerns. A professional inspection is recommended to confirm the condition of these areas, given the vehicle’s low mileage and the unexplained failure in October 2024.
