2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · A8 LDK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 18,141 miles. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of structural integrity and mechanical function, though a clear pattern has emerged regarding tyre condition. While the car consistently passes without major mechanical failures, the recurring advisories for tyre perishing and cracking indicate that the rubber components are degrading due to age and inactivity rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. Between August 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 6,149 miles, suggesting a history of infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension bushings, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which aligns with the defects noted in the most recent tests. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the 2024 and 2025 tests specifically flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside rear and front sides. These age-related defects require replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but the low mileage justifies a focus on components susceptible to drying over time.
