AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2015 Peugeot 208 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2024-10-19 at 95,251 miles, which passed with no defects. The prior test on 2023-10-20 at 88,884 miles also passed, though a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage records a failure with no defects noted, suggesting a possible administrative error. Subsequent tests in 2022 and 2021 show consistent passing results, with no structural or mechanical issues flagged. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three years implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the 2023 failure entry warrants scrutiny for accuracy. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 8,659 miles annually. The 2022-09-29 test at 80,891 miles preceded a 7,993-mile increase to 88,884 miles by 2023-10-20, followed by a 6,367-mile rise to 95,251 miles by 2024-10-19. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation suggest steady, regular use. The MOT history lacks recurring issues, with no mentions of corrosion, suspension wear, or exhaust system faults, indicating the vehicle has not exhibited systemic deterioration. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop gradually. While the MOT records show no structural rust or emission-related faults, the 2023 failure entry—despite no defects listed—highlights the need to review service history for potential overlooked issues. The vehicle’s compliance with recent tests suggests it is currently roadworthy, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of high-mileage components.

Our Verdict

This Peugeot 208 is a sensible option for those seeking a high-mileage city car with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is significant, the lack of recent defects suggests a stable mechanical period.

Given the high mileage of 95,251 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure regular oil changes and component replacements have occurred. Since this is a 1.2L petrol engine, check for any signs of timing belt wear or replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type at this age and mileage.

When negotiating, consider the high mileage relative to the model average. Ask the seller specifically about recent work done on the suspension or drivetrain, as these are common areas of interest for high-mileage small cars. Ensure the tyres have adequate tread, as tyre issues are a common failure point for this model across the wider dataset.

The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving and lower insurance groups. You should expect relatively low fuel consumption, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.

Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 208 are generally moderate, but with the vehicle approaching the 100,000-mile mark, you should budget for more frequent wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension components, and exhaust parts. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.

Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the exhaust system and drive shaft joints, as these are top reasons for MOT failures in the Peugeot 208 population. Check for any excessive vibration through the steering wheel or unusual noises from the drivetrain during a test drive.

Additionally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues, and check the brake pads and discs. While this specific vehicle's recent MOTs (2023 and 2024) showed no defects, the high mileage means components like bushings and shock absorbers should be visually inspected for leaks or perished rubber.

Registered in September 2015, this black 1.2L petrol Peugeot 208 has covered 95,251 miles as of its last MOT in October 2024. The vehicle has a history of consistent annual testing, with the most recent two tests showing no recorded defects. However, the mileage is notably higher than the model average of 5,889 miles per year.

The Peugeot 208 shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across the dataset, with common failures related to exhausts, drive shafts, and tyres.
