2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · TE05 TAM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 November 2025 at 24,945 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This streak of clean results across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has remained in good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during the testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Data shows a consistent gradual increase in mileage, such as the jump from 16,816 miles in December 2022 to 20,250 miles in December 2023. This low usage suggests short-distance trips which typically result in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, low mileage over long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or fluid breakdown that is not captured by a standard MOT test. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of specific areas common to low-mileage vehicles. The brake discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the metal surface effectively. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these age over time regardless of distance driven. Checking the service history for fluid changes is vital to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglected oil or coolant intervals.
