2020 Peugeot 208 Allure Bluehdi S/S 1.5L Diesel · CE20 HPF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear that requires immediate attention. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 61,344 miles identified a non-advisory minor oil leak and a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. While the car passed the test, these faults indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components and seals are beginning to fail following a relatively clean record in the previous year. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 31,965 miles and March 2025 at 51,975 miles, the car covered exactly 20,000 miles, showing steady usage. The subsequent interval of nearly 10,000 miles leading up to the March 2026 test suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which explains the standard wear seen on brake components noted in earlier intervals. A buyer must inspect the offside front drive shaft immediately to ensure grease has not escaped the deteriorated CV boot, as this will lead to premature joint failure. The oil leak identified in March 2026 requires tracing to determine if it originates from a sump gasket or seal. Given that front brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored in March 2025, the buyer should verify if these were replaced or check the current thickness of the pads to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its service life.
