2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AL11 JES

Recent MOT (23 April 2026) was a pass at 39,688 mi, but flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm pin/bush. The defect did not cause excessive movement but signals the first suspension‑related issue in the record. The dominant pattern over the last three years is tyre deterioration. In 2025 the off‑side front tyre was at the legal limit, both front tyres were close to the limit, and all four tyres showed edge‑wear or cracking. The 2024 test repeated the “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing” note on all four tyres. No tyre comments appear in 2023 or 2022, suggesting the problem has emerged recently and is persisting. Brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2025 (front and rear) but have not re‑appeared in later tests, implying they may have been replaced or the wear has stabilised. Overall the trend is moving from a clean record (2022‑2023) to a series of tyre warnings and now a suspension wear notice. The condition is therefore worsening rather than stable. Mileage is low for a 2019 model – about 5,700 mi yr⁻¹.
