2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SP16 MVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent failure at 53,394 miles indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged three distinct issues including inoperative registration plate lamps, a worn front brake disc, and a perished offside rear tyre. All these items were rectified to achieve the pass one mile later, suggesting the owner is responsive to defects once they are identified. At 53,395 miles, this Peugeot 208 has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,340 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with a 9,603-mile interval recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,537 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the risk of rubber components like tyres and bushes degrading if the vehicle sits for long periods without use. A buyer should physically inspect the front braking system specifically, as the February 2026 failure noted the discs were reaching the limit of their acceptable thickness. Given the previous report of a perished rear tyre, a thorough check for sidewall cracking across all tyres is necessary to ensure they are safe despite having sufficient tread. The recurring history of bulb failures also suggests a lack of attention to basic electrical upkeep, so a functional test of all exterior lighting and indicators should be performed before purchase.
