2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · EK64 AAV

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last several years defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness profile, following a brief period of tyre-related advisories. While the 2023 test flagged an offside front tyre with a cut and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, the subsequent tests in 2024, 2025, and the most recent pass on 01 September 2026 show no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous issues with tyre wear and sidewall integrity have been addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a defect-free status for the last three consecutive testing cycles. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low usage pattern for a 2014 model, with a total recorded mileage of 35,336 miles representing an average of approximately 2,945 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent journeys. From a mechanical standpoint, such low mileage means that primary drivetrain and suspension components may have less wear than a higher-mileage equivalent, but it also necessitates closer inspection of rubber components and seals that can perish or harden due to lack of regular thermal cycling and movement. Given the specific advisories recorded in 2022 and 2023, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres and the wheel alignment. Although the most recent records show no current issues, the history of sidewall cuts and uneven edge wear suggests that the vehicle's handling and tyre longevity should be monitored. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise which could indicate irregular tyre wear, and check for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving, which might suggest that the alignment was not fully corrected following the previous tyre replacements. Beyond the tyre history, the low mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of the vehicle's underbody and engine bay for signs of fluid seepage or age-related degradation. While no oil misting or leaks were flagged in the MOT history, vehicles with low annual mileage can sometimes develop weeping seals or perished rubber bushes. On the test drive, pay close attention to the feel of the steering and suspension response; any sudden knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps should be investigated, as these can be symptoms of aged suspension bushes or mounting components that have not been regularly exercised.
