2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Ptech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · RF71 KOX

This Peugeot 208 demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness profile, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on 26 January 2026 and 7 January 2025—resulting in clean passes at 5,444 and 4,767 miles respectively. No defects, advisories, or failings were recorded during either inspection, indicating the vehicle has met all DVSA minimum standards without exception. The absence of recurring issues suggests the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though the low mileage means wear on high-friction components like brake pads and bushings remains minimal. The most recent test, just six months ago, confirms the vehicle remains legally compliant, but the lack of any advisory notes also means no pre-existing concerns were flagged for proactive attention. The recorded mileage of 5,444 miles over four years—approximately 1,361 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the premium PTech S/S transmission. Such limited usage could imply extended periods of storage, which may accelerate degradation of fluids (e.g., gearbox oil, brake fluid) or lead to minor corrosion in unprotected areas. The gap between tests, spanning exactly one year, aligns with the standard MOT cycle, but the consistency in mileage suggests no rapid deterioration or aggressive driving patterns. Buyers should verify if the vehicle has been stored properly, as prolonged inactivity can compromise components like suspension seals or battery health. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable items that degrade slowly but are critical for long-term reliability. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads—despite low mileage, uneven wear or glazing could indicate previous neglect. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, as these are prone to brittle failure even with minimal use. The PTech transmission should have its fluid and filter checked for contamination, and the battery terminals examined for corrosion, which can develop passively over time. Structural integrity remains a secondary concern at this mileage, but examine wheel arches, sills, and underbody for any signs of corrosion that might have gone unnoticed during storage. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are pristine, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
