2015 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · SE64 HXM

The 2023‑07‑10 MOT at 70,242 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Peugeot 208 is presently roadworthy. Although earlier tests in 2023‑03‑01 and 2019‑08‑22 flagged exhaust Lambda and insecure mounting, the most recent result shows a stable condition and no immediate mechanical failures. The vehicle has accumulated 70,242 miles over roughly 11 years, averaging 6,386 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the interval between the 2021‑08‑25 test at 51,500 miles and the 2022‑09‑01 test at 62,812 miles represents an increase of 11,312 miles in a single year, and the subsequent rise to 70,242 miles by July 2023 adds another 7,425 miles, indicating a noticeable acceleration in mileage accumulation in recent years. Recurring issues such as tyre perishing, exhaust Lambda deviations, and insecure exhaust mounting point to intermittent neglect of consumables and structural components. The 2021‑08‑25 record notes worn front brake discs, while the 2019‑08‑22 failure highlighted a loose exhaust system, and the 2017‑09‑05 test documented missing wheel bolts, all suggesting that suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis integrity have not been consistently inspected. A buyer should therefore examine tyre tread and side‑wall condition, verify brake disc thickness and pad wear, inspect suspension bushes and mounting points for play or corrosion, confirm exhaust system security and Lambda sensor operation, and look for any signs of structural rust or previous repair welds, especially around the chassis rails and exhaust hangers.
