2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SE15 ACU

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 67,912 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the car has a history of passing tests, the pattern of failing and passing on the same day in August 2024 and August 2025 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where defects are only addressed once they trigger a formal failure. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,174 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 26 August 2024 and 12 August 2025, with the odometer rising from 49,688 to 60,094 miles. The most recent interval shows a further increase to 67,912 miles over the last eleven months, indicating a stable and typical usage pattern for a city car. The MOT record is unusually clean regarding specific defect descriptions, as no technical faults were listed despite multiple failures. This lack of data makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical trends such as suspension wear or brake deterioration. However, the fact that the vehicle failed its most recent test in April 2026 without a recorded pass shortly after is a significant red flag. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the April 2026 failure, as the current record lacks detail. Priority should be given to inspecting the brake discs and pads for corrosion or wear, as well as checking the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural rust on the chassis and sills is essential to ensure the integrity of the bodywork.
