2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CE64 POU

The vehicle is currently in a declining state of maintenance, with the most recent test on 23 October 2025 revealing a significant increase in advisories compared to previous years. While it passed, the tester flagged multiple concerns including corroded rear coil springs and a corroded rear sub-frame. The presence of worn and pitted front brake discs alongside a tyre worn close to the legal limit suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 5,457 miles per year. It covered 44,775 miles by October 2020 and reached 65,484 miles by October 2025. This low usage pattern often leads to the types of degradation seen here, where components fail due to age and environmental exposure rather than mechanical wear. The record shows the car has been used consistently but sparingly. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension. The 2025 report of sub-frame and coil spring corrosion is a warning sign of structural ageing that requires professional assessment. The braking system has a history of instability, with binding rear brakes flagged in October 2018 and October 2019, and pitted front discs appearing again in 2025. These recurring issues suggest the braking system may suffer from seizure due to the low mileage. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust system and bodywork. The vehicle failed in October 2019 and October 2020 due to broken exhaust mounts and insecure systems. Additionally, the October 2021 record mentions a repair to the fuel tank filler neck breather pipe with a lingering smell of fumes. A physical check should confirm that these repairs were permanent and that no further leaks or structural rust have developed since the last test.
