2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · KK17 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 22 December 2025 at 43,124 miles. While the most recent test resulted in an initial failure, the subsequent pass indicates that the identified faults were addressed. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of resolving specific mechanical and electrical issues, though the recurrence of certain items suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to minor upkeep. The vehicle has covered 43,124 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 4,792 miles annually. This represents low-mileage usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The mileage increments between tests are consistent, with the 2024 test at 39,791 miles and the 2025 test at 43,124 miles showing steady, predictable usage. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to tyre perishing due to age rather than tread wear, a trend evident in the 2023 and 2024 advisories. A buyer should pay close attention to the offside front drive shaft. The 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged a split or insecure constant velocity boot, which is a critical component for transferring power to the wheels. Although the 2025 pass suggests this was repaired, the repetition of the fault indicates the component or its installation requires verification. Inspect the CV boot for any signs of grease leakage or tearing to ensure the repair was permanent and not a temporary fix. The history also highlights recurring issues with lighting and tyres. The nearside registration plate lamp and side repeater failed in the December 2025 test, and tyre condition has been a consistent advisory since December 2023. While these are largely consumable or electrical issues, the pattern of failing on tyres and bulbs suggests the previous owner may have overlooked basic maintenance until prompted by an MOT inspection. Check the remaining tyre tread depths and rubber integrity to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit or showing signs of cracking.
