2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SO16 WSN

The 2016 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 12 February 2026 at 51,226 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across five consecutive annual examinations. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits low for a ten-year-old car. The record runs 38,131 miles in February 2023, 42,531 in February 2024, 47,665 in February 2025, and 51,226 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles added each year, confirming light use at about 5,100 miles per annum overall. No gaps exist between tests; the DVSA entries are clean and continuous from 2023 onward. Low mileage combined with a fault-free record suggests careful, infrequent use, though standing periods can age rubber components and accelerate corrosion unseen by the tester. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for cracking or surface rust during a physical viewing. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and underbody structural integrity for moisture-related deterioration linked to limited running. The absence of recurring advisories means no worsening pattern exists in the data. Verify the February 2026 failure-with-no-defect entry against the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm it was a system duplication. Otherwise, the Peugeot shows a consistent, low-wear profile that reflects basic upkeep was not skipped.
