2021 Peugeot 208 Active Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · ST71 FNS

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean and stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT in July 2025 at 23,354 miles passed with zero defects or advisories, and the preceding test in November 2024 at 18,517 miles was equally clear. The absence of any flagged issues across two consecutive inspections indicates the car has been kept in sound mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring faults. The trend is unequivocally stable and suggests responsible previous ownership. The mileage pattern is consistent with light use. Over roughly five years, the average is under 5,000 miles per annum, which is well below the UK norm. The gap between the November 2024 and July 2025 tests saw about 4,837 miles accumulated in eight months – a moderate, steady rate. There are no sudden jumps or periods of neglect evident in the odometer progression. While low mileage often reduces wear on consumables, it also means the car may have stood for extended periods, particularly if it was a second or third vehicle. A prospective buyer should confirm that the engine has been properly warmed up and the battery has not suffered repeated deep discharges. Given the clean MOT history, there are no recurring structural or mechanical warnings to chase. However, a car of this age and low mileage may still need attention to perishable items. Check the condition and age of the tyres – even with low miles, rubber degrades after four to five years. Inspect brake discs for surface corrosion from infrequent heavy braking, and listen for any binding from the calipers. The PureTech petrol engine has known belt-in-oil concerns on earlier units, so verify that the timing belt has been replaced per Peugeot's schedule or is due shortly. Finally, request evidence of at least one full service, as oil changes on a low-mileage car are sometimes overlooked. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent despite the impeccable MOT record.
