2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · PX66 XAA

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 December 2025 at 76,635 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting roughly six and a half months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the certificate is still valid but approaching its first anniversary. The vehicle has moved from a pattern of minor, easily rectified advisories to a fully defect-free status, suggesting the last keeper addressed outstanding items promptly rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the December 2023 test at 59,843 miles and the December 2024 test at 67,829 miles, the car covered 7,986 miles in twelve months. The following year it added just 8,806 miles, reaching 76,635 miles by December 2025. That works out to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually, which is typical for a ten-year-old supermini and indicates regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage abuse. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record. The only recurring fault across the history is an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, flagged in both the December 2023 failure and the December 2025 failure on the same date as the pass. This points to a simple bulb or wiring issue that was corrected on the same day, not a persistent electrical fault. The December 2023 test also flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, which suggests possible wheel alignment or suspension bush wear that was evidently addressed before the clean 2024 and 2025 passes. No structural corrosion, brake defects, suspension failures, or exhaust emissions failures appear anywhere in the record. A buyer should still inspect the nearside rear tyre for uneven wear patterns and check the condition of all suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components in person, as these are items that deteriorate with age and mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. The clean recent record is encouraging, but a physical inspection of the underside for corrosion and a road test to confirm brake operation and steering alignment remain prudent steps before purchase.
