2021 Peugeot 208 Active Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · SD71 JWJ

This Peugeot 208 PureTech SS has demonstrated a stable and clean roadworthiness record over its recent MOT history, with both the October 2024 and October 2025 tests passing without any defects or advisories at mileages of 20,404 and 27,616 respectively. The absence of any recorded faults suggests that core mechanical systems—including brakes, suspension, steering, and structural integrity—have been maintained to a high standard. The most recent test, conducted just nine months ago, confirms that the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, with no signs of recurring issues that might indicate neglect or mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging around 5,523 miles per year, which may reflect either light personal use or periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests covers roughly 7,200 miles over 12 months, a pace that aligns with the overall trend. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, though it does not eliminate the need for proactive checks—particularly if the car has been stored for extended periods without regular operation. The clean MOT history reinforces the likelihood that the vehicle has been well cared for, but the buyer should still verify whether any non-MOT-related maintenance (such as fluid top-ups or minor wear items) has been addressed. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT records, there are no immediate red flags for structural or mechanical failure. However, a prospective buyer should still inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, as these areas can degrade even with low mileage if exposed to moisture or salt. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension—checking for worn bushes, coil springs, or uneven tyre wear—which could indicate alignment issues or neglected servicing. The brakes should be tested for responsiveness, as binding calipers or uneven disc thickness are not always caught in standard MOT tests. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust, and ensure all fluid levels (coolant, brake, and power steering) are topped up, as these are not part of the MOT but critical for long-term reliability.
