2015 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · XY15 DAV

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status having secured a clean pass in its most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 95,167 miles. This result indicates that the previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of initial failures, the transition to consecutive zero-defect passes suggests the current maintenance regime is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,650 miles per year. The car covered 9,801 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, followed by another 8,342 miles leading up to the June 2025 inspection. These annual intervals and steady mileage accumulation suggest regular road use which is generally beneficial for vehicle components like rubber seals and brakes, preventing degradation associated with long periods of standing. The recorded failures in July 2023 at 77,024 miles and July 2024 at 86,825 miles indicate that the vehicle required specific repairs prior to those passes. Since the MOT records provided do not list the specific reasons for those two failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking system to ensure no recurring issues persist. Given the age of the Peugeot, close attention to structural corrosion on the underbody and the condition of the exhaust system is advisable to confirm long-term integrity.
