2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · KK17 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent test on August 6 2025 at 46,771 miles passed immediately after a failure on the previous day. That failure identified significantly worn brake discs all round and perished rear tyres. While these issues were addressed to secure the pass, the pattern suggests the owner only replaces critical components when they fail an inspection rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 5,546 miles in a year. However, usage increased to 5,210 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is consistent with the recurring tyre issues noted in 2023 and 2025. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2023 test at 33,719 miles flagged a worn offside front suspension arm bush and thin front pads, while the 2025 failure highlighted total wear on the discs. Given the low mileage, the buyer should check for seized brake calipers or uneven wear which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. The recurring mention of perished or cracking tyres across multiple years indicates the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth, meaning a full set may be required soon regardless of remaining life.
