2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · NG65 HHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on 23 January 2026 at 113,368 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of mechanical neglect in early 2024. While the car previously suffered from emissions failures and suspension wear, the absence of any defects in the most recent test indicates that the previous owner addressed the flagged faults and has maintained the vehicle to a standard level. At 113,368 miles over ten years, the Peugeot averages approximately 11,337 miles per year, which aligns closely with national UK averages for a small hatchback. The record shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 13,876 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 6,693 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the January 2025 test at 106,675 miles flagged worn Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both front sides. Although these cleared the subsequent test, these components are prone to wear and should be checked for play or knocking noises. Additionally, the rear braking system showed signs of pitted discs and thin pads in 2025, so the buyer must verify that these were replaced and that the calipers are not currently binding or corroded. The failure in January 2024 due to high carbon monoxide and an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp indicates a previous engine management issue or sensor failure. While the car has passed the last two tests without emissions faults, a buyer should ensure the dashboard remains clear of any warning lights and that the engine runs smoothly at idle. The history of uneven tyre wear in 2024 is also resolved, suggesting the vehicle has moved past a phase of reactive maintenance into a more stable operational period.
