2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · YX67 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and emissions. While the most recent test on September 30 2025 at 90,859 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior due to a split offside front CV boot, poor front tyre condition, and an exhaust leak. The fact that these issues were addressed immediately enough to secure a pass suggests the previous owner only rectified faults once they threatened the MOT certificate rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The car progressed from 59,865 miles in September 2022 to 90,859 miles by September 2025, representing a steady usage of roughly 10,000 miles over those three years. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, though the cumulative mileage contributes to the gradual wear seen on rubber components and suspension bushings noted in the records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside front suspension arm, which has been flagged for worn bushes in four consecutive tests since 2022. This recurring fault indicates either a poor-quality replacement part or an underlying alignment issue that continues to cause uneven tyre wear. The exhaust flexi leak identified in the 2025 test should also be checked for further degradation, as these components often lead to larger structural failures if ignored. Additionally, given the history of inner edge wear on the nearside front in 2023 and 2025, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure the current set of tyres will not require premature replacement.
