2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · SG66 FDX

This Peugeot 208 demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record, having passed all four consecutive MOT tests without any defects or advisories recorded. The most recent inspection on 2025-04-23, at 110,546 miles, confirms no mechanical or structural failings, reinforcing a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular servicing, though this does not preclude wear beyond MOT scope—such as suspension bush deterioration, brake pad life, or minor corrosion—common in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a car of this vintage, averaging around 11,055 miles annually. There are no significant gaps between tests, with the most recent MOT occurring just over three months ago, well within the legal 12-month window. The slight increase in mileage between tests (around 6,877 miles per year) aligns with moderate usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity, which could otherwise suggest neglect or extended storage. However, the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means potential hidden wear—such as fluid changes or suspension checks—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the front and rear bushes, for cracking or excessive play, as these are often overlooked until failure. The brake system warrants scrutiny, especially the rear calipers and discs, for signs of binding or uneven wear, which could indicate past neglect. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, for corrosion that may not have been visible during MOT checks. Tyre condition, while not MOT-failed here, should be verified for remaining tread depth and uniformity, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, steering, and engine oil—should be checked, as these are critical but not always recorded in MOT reports.
