2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CK15 SOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect records to reactive repairs. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 37,300 miles, the car passed despite defects involving deteriorated exhaust mounts on both the front and rear, along with a discoloured nearside rear indicator. This follows a period of clean tests in 2023 and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is now beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the low total mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old Peugeot 208, averaging only approximately 3,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage between 2022 and 2026, with mileage increasing by roughly 1,300 to 2,000 miles annually. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the hardening of rubber components and the corrosion of metal surfaces when the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The 2024 test at 33,993 miles flagged thin front pads and pitted or scored brake discs on both front wheels, which is common in low-use vehicles where moisture accumulates. The tester also noted worn axle swivel pins and bushes during that same visit. These components should be checked for play or perished rubber, as neglected suspension bushes can compromise handling and cause uneven tyre wear. The exhaust system requires immediate attention following the February 2026 failure. The defective mounts suggest the exhaust system is vibrating excessively or may eventually lead to structural failure of the piping if not replaced. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for significant surface rust on the undercarriage and brake lines, as the lack of frequent use has not prevented environmental corrosion.
