2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · VN65 UBE

The 2015 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 8 June 2026 at 80,074 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. It follows a period in mid-2024 where the car failed and then passed with advisories, indicating the previous owner addressed those specific issues rather than ignoring them. The trajectory from a June 2024 failure through to a spotless June 2026 pass suggests attentive ownership in the most recent two years. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,279 miles per year is entirely typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle and raises no concerns about either excessive use or suspiciously low recorded distance. The progression from 60,164 miles in June 2023 to 68,657 miles in June 2024 represents approximately 8,500 miles over twelve months, then a further 5,300 miles to June 2025 and 6,100 miles to June 2026. This gradual tapering is consistent with a vehicle used for regular commuting or mixed driving rather than high-intensity long-distance work. No anomalous gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record. The June 2024 failure for elevated exhaust carbon monoxide at the second fast idle points to a combustion or emissions control issue that was subsequently rectified, as the June 2025 and June 2026 tests recorded no such defect. The simultaneous advisories for perished and cracking rear tyres on both nearside and offside, with the nearside sitting at the 3mm legal minimum, indicate the rear rubber was neglected at that point. Both issues were clearly addressed before the 2025 test. A prospective buyer should still inspect the current tyre condition carefully, particularly the sidewalls for age-related cracking, given the car's age. The exhaust system warrants a brief cold-start check for unusual smoke or smell, confirming the emissions fault has not returned. Beyond these items, the clean recent record suggests no immediate structural or mechanical red flags, though a thorough inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underside corrosion remains prudent for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
