2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · PO16 OPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 4 2026 at 69,721 miles. The maintenance trend appears technically stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by rapid rectification. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the test just five days before a successful pass, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when necessitated by a test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression with 4,919 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,636 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance drivetrain stress, but it also exposes components like rubber hoses and suspension bushings to age-related degradation and cracking. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical defects or structural corrosion, the repeated last-minute failures warrant a thorough physical inspection of the underside. A buyer should specifically check for signs of fluid leaks or perished suspension components, as these are common culprits for sudden failures in older Peuge models. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the state of the brake discs and the condition of the tyres is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from corrosion during long periods of standing between tests.
