2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CV15 HVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 72,894 miles saw the car fail on multiple points, including lighting, wipers, and suspension components, before securing a pass. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the recurring presence of worn front inner suspension arm bushes indicates that mechanical issues are only being addressed once they reach the threshold of an MOT failure. At 72,894 miles, the Peugeot averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an eleven-year-old car. There is a significant gap in records between the January 2024 test at 49,821 miles and the December 2024 test at 53,459 miles, where the vehicle covered only 3,638 miles in eleven months. The failure in December 2024 for weakened brake discs and thin pads suggests that basic wear items were neglected until the annual inspection. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the worn inner arm bushes flagged in February 2026 will likely require replacement soon to prevent uneven tyre wear. The history of seriously weakened brake discs and pads in 2024 suggests the previous owner may have ignored braking performance until it became a critical safety point. Given the recent failure of wiper blades and bulbs, a thorough check of the electrical system and washer pump assembly is necessary to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive and not just temporary fixes.
