2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · OW15 CLU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in June 2025 at 33,454 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car remains in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained consistently without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered only 1,760 miles over two years. The single failure in July 2021 at 28,776 miles was rectified immediately, given the subsequent pass. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can increase the risk of degradation in rubber components and brake systems due to lack of thermal cycling and mechanical operation. Despite the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for perished rubber parts, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. The brakes should be inspected for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to pistons sticking up. Additionally, verifying fluid levels and checking for coolant degradation is essential to ensure the low-use engine has not suffered from neglect during its periods of standing.
