2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DF04 FEB

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 13 June 2026 MOT, where it passed at 87,735 miles despite a prior failure at 87,732 miles for front tyre tread and suspension wear. The recent pass indicates the tyre depth and the noted front lower arm rear bushes have been brought within acceptable limits, though the tester still recorded front suspension arm pin or bush wear. Earlier failures on brake discs (2025) and anti‑roll‑bar ball joints (2022) have not recurred, suggesting the maintenance trend has stabilised after recent corrective work. Mileage has risen from 31,071 miles in January 2021 to 87,735 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 9,700 miles per year – a typical utilisation for a nine‑year‑old hatchback. Annual increments of 9‑12 k miles between each test show no prolonged idle periods or sudden spikes, implying consistent driving rather than extreme short‑term abuse. The record contains no large gaps that would mask hidden mileage, reinforcing the view that the odometer reflects genuine use. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front suspension components, particularly the lower arm rear bushes and the arm pin, to ensure wear has not progressed beyond the MOT comment. Inspect all four tyre tread depths for at least the statutory 1.6 mm minimum, and assess the brake discs and pads for any resurfacing or thinning that may not have been captured since the 2025 test. Confirm the off‑side front headlamp operates on dipped beam, and examine the drive‑shaft inner oil seal for leakage, as a slight leak was noted in 2021. A visual check for corrosion around suspension mounting points will further confirm that the earlier anti‑roll‑bar ball joint wear has not re‑emerged.
