2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · RF16 AEN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-26 at 69,046 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding three tests within a 48-hour period in June 2025 all failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical faults. The prior MOT on 2024-06-22 at 65,132 miles also passed without defects, confirming a pattern of compliance in earlier years. Overall, the record shows no significant mechanical failures, but the repeated failures in 2025 raise questions about the vehicle’s service history. The 69,046-mile reading aligns with an average annual mileage of 6,905, typical for a 10-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2024-06-22 test (65,132 miles) and the 2025-06-26 test (69,046 miles) reflects a 3,914-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with moderate use. No anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident, though the lack of detailed defect reports in the failed tests limits insight into potential underlying issues. The absence of recurring mechanical problems in the pass entries suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. Buyers should inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, given the frequency of MOT failures. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage may not be captured in MOT records. While the latest test confirms roadworthiness, the prior failures highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to address any unresolved concerns.
