2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · NJ68 LGZ

This Peugeot 208 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two MOT cycles, with both the January 2025 and January 2026 tests concluding in passes despite the unusual dual entries. The most recent test on 2026-01-28 passed without defects, confirming the vehicle meets current UK standards for emissions, brakes, lights, and structural integrity. The lack of advisories or recurring faults in the record suggests no obvious pattern of deferred maintenance, though the repeated failed entries—both dated the same day—are anomalous and warrant clarification from the seller regarding their cause. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,669 miles over eight years equates to approximately 11,209 miles annually, which is typical for its age and usage class. There are no significant gaps in testing, with the most recent MOT occurring just seven months ago, well within the legal 12-month window. The consistent mileage accumulation implies regular use rather than prolonged neglect, though the absence of intermediate servicing records means wear on suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain components could be advanced. The 2024 test at 84,000 miles passed without issues, indicating no sudden deterioration in core systems during this period. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The repeated failed MOT entries—despite passing tests—may hint at minor but persistent issues, such as binding calipers or worn brake pads, that were either overlooked or corrected between tests. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are critical for structural integrity. Additionally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be examined for leaks or damage, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. While the MOT record shows no major red flags, these areas are where wear typically accelerates beyond what a test can detect.
