2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · WN66 XAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 53,289 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of instability in 2023 and 2024. While the car previously struggled with recurring consumable and minor electrical failures, the latest test sheet indicates that the current owner has addressed the outstanding issues and brought the vehicle back to a clean standard of presentation. At 53,289 miles, the Peugeot reflects low mileage for its ten-year age, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. This pattern is consistent, though there is a notable gap of nearly 7,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. The low annual usage explains the frequent reports of tyre perishing and cracking seen in the 2022 through 2024 tests, as these suggest the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, leading to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from heavy road use. A buyer should closely inspect the braking system, as the record shows a persistent history of pitted, scored, and corroded discs dating back to 2020. While these were noted as not seriously weakened, low mileage often leads to surface rust on rotors if the car is not driven frequently. The recurring failures related to tyre structural damage and exposed cords in 2023 suggest that previous owners neglected basic preventative checks. Verify the current condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the exhaust mounting to ensure the broken rear hanger identified in 2024 has been properly replaced.
