2018 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · YX67 AAU

The overall roadworthiness of this 2018 Peugeot 208 is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-03 which failed at 45,365 miles for a vehicle that is only about 8 years old. This indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in a standard way since the most recent inspection and suggests a significant gap in its history. The maintenance history reveals a pattern of failure that is not stable but rather worsening, driven by rapid mileage accumulation and specific consumable wear. The vehicle failed twice on the 2026-02-03 test, with the first defect being a product on the front headlamp lens causing severe light reduction. This is followed by a second failure on 2025-02-03 where the nearside rear wheel bearing exhibits excessive play, and the nearside rear tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords. These specific faults suggest that the owner may have been neglecting basic upkeep, such as replacing worn brake discs or checking tyre wear, leading to structural integrity issues. Given the recurring faults in the wheel bearings, tyre cuts, and headlamp defects, the vehicle presents a serious risk of further damage if not addressed immediately. The buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushings and alignment components in person, as the excessive play in the rear wheel bearings and the depth of the tyre cut indicate that the suspension and drivetrain are likely compromised. The vehicle must also be checked for structural integrity and corrosion on the exhaust system and brake discs, as these components are prone to failure given the history of these specific defects.
