2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AW15 KLO

The 2026‑03‑25 MOT at 70,027 miles resulted in a pass, but the record lists several defects including worn front suspension arm pins and bushes, a non‑functional front headlamp, insufficient washer fluid, tyre pressure monitoring system failure, worn rear brake pads under 1.5 mm, a seriously weakened rear brake disc, and a missing steering rack gaiter. These recurring issues show that the vehicle’s maintenance has not been consistent and that wear on critical components is evident, indicating a trend of deteriorating mechanical condition rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 45,255 miles in January 2025 to 70,027 miles by March 2026, an increase of 24,772 miles in just over fifteen months, equivalent to roughly 1,650 miles per month. The jump from 45,255 miles in January 2025 to 57,436 miles in January 2025 represents a 12,181‑mile surge within a single month, suggesting either intensive use or missed testing intervals. The subsequent failure on 2026‑03‑24 at the same mileage as the earlier pass confirms that the listed faults were present before the vehicle was declared road‑legal. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension components for excessive play or worn bushings and ball joints, verify the condition of the rear brake disc and pads, and examine the front brake discs for pitting or scoring. The steering rack gaiter and tyre tread depth below 1.6 mm, together with the tyre pressure monitoring system fault, demand close checking for damage and sensor operation. Finally, the washer fluid level and lamp functionality should be tested, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis or exhaust should be assessed, as repeated electrical and fluid‑system failures often accompany underlying neglect.
