2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · RJ16 AEM

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 63,312 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear in the data, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 44,866 miles on 11 November 2022, rising to 53,174 by 17 November 2023, then 57,507 on 15 November 2024, and 63,312 on 29 October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,300 to 8,600 miles per year, with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA entry also logs a failed test on 11 November 2022 at 44,866 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, which suggests an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Given the absence of flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone shows no red flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake caliper operation, as these items escape MOT capture until significantly degraded. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic consumable upkeep current, though low annual use means rubber components and fluid intervals deserve verification. Verify service history against the mileage points above to confirm cambelt and coolant schedules were met. The Peugeot 208 of this era uses a wet timing belt on certain engines, and MOT data will not reveal deferred interval replacements.
