2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CK67 YPY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in January 2026, though the overall maintenance trend indicates a progressive increase in front-end wear. While the car has consistently passed, the transition from worn brake discs in early 2024 to thin brake pads and tyre wear in 2026 suggests that the vehicle is now reaching a threshold where several primary consumables and chassis components require attention. The pattern of advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. With 64,820 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,100 miles per annum. This usage profile is typical for a city car of this age and suggests a balanced duty cycle without the extreme risks associated with prolonged standing or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this mileage is consistent with the expected wear seen in the MOT history, particularly regarding the suspension and braking systems. Prospective buyers should prioritize the immediate replacement of the front brake pads and the nearside front tyre, as both were flagged as nearing their legal or functional limits in the latest inspection. The mention of edge wear on the tyre is particularly significant, as it often correlates with the steering rack inner joint play and worn suspension arm bushes noted in the November 2024 test. During a test drive, pay close attention to any shuddering under braking or uneven tyre noise. Further investigation into the front-end geometry is essential. The recorded play in the steering rack and worn suspension bushes can lead to vague steering response and accelerated tyre degradation. Listen for metallic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces or when turning the wheel at low speeds. Given the history of these chassis advisories, a comprehensive check of the suspension bushes and a professional four-wheel alignment are recommended to ensure long-term roadworthiness and safety.
