2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · OM11 AAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 9 April 2026 at 82,643 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability characterized by two consecutive failures within a span of five weeks. While the car ultimately passed its most recent test without recorded defects, the failures in March 2026 and April 2026 suggest the vehicle required immediate remedial work to bring it up to legal safety standards just prior to the final pass. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a hatchback, averaging approximately 9,183 miles per year over its nine-year life. The jump from 76,015 miles in March 2025 to 82,643 miles in April 2026 represents an accumulation of 6,628 miles in just thirteen months. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the condition of engine seals, rubber components, and braking systems. Because the provided record does not list specific defects for the failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify what caused the recent rejections. Focus should be placed on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres, which are common points of failure on high-mileage Peugeots. Inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning or uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for excessive corrosion to ensure that the recent pass was not merely masking deeper underlying mechanical issues that may recur shortly.
