2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · BA18 KAU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of resolving minor electrical faults. The most recent test in February 2026 at 37,841 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp, which was rectified immediately to achieve passing. This indicates the owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures once they are identified rather than allowing defects to persist across multiple testing cycles. At 37,841 miles, this eight-year-old Peugeot reflects significantly below-average usage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 4,703 miles covered between December 2023 and February 2024, and another 5,137 miles recorded in the year leading up to 2025. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it does increase the risk of rubber-based parts degrading if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues. The December 2024 test flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, while the 2023 record noted front tyres reaching the 2mm legal limit with uneven wear. These findings are typical of age-related degradation rather than mileage-driven wear, so the buyer must check for sidewall cracking and ensure the alignment is not causing premature edge scrubbing. No significant structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have been flagged in the records, suggesting the chassis and suspension components remain in good condition.
