2015 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · DF64 KJZ

The 2015 Peugeot 208 presents a broadly stable maintenance profile, passing its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 85,214 miles with only a minor advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The overall trend is one of gradual wear rather than escalating failure. A single suspension bush advisory appeared in January 2024, and a binding rear brake advisory surfaced in January 2025, yet neither fault has recurred or worsened in subsequent tests. No corrosion, structural, or emissions failures have been recorded across the five-year history, indicating the vehicle has been kept in reasonable mechanical order. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,747 miles per year, which is typical for an eleven-year-old supermini. The annual intervals between tests are consistent, with no sudden jumps or suspiciously low gaps that might suggest long periods of disuse or odometer tampering. The 2023 test recorded zero defects, and the 2026 pass was similarly clean apart from the tyre advisory, suggesting the car has been driven regularly and maintained to a functional standard rather than neglected. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension carefully, given the offside front suspension arm pin or bush advisory noted in January 2024 at 75,609 miles. Although not flagged again, worn bushes can cause vague steering and uneven tyre wear over time, so checking for play or deterioration is sensible. The rear brake binding advisory from January 2025 at 80,900 miles also warrants a test drive to confirm the offside rear caliper is not sticking, as this can lead to overheated discs, accelerated pad wear, and fuel inefficiency if left unresolved. The exhaust mounting defect flagged in 2025 appears to have been repaired, but a visual check underneath for fresh welding or replacement brackets would confirm the fix is solid. Tyre condition has been flagged in three of the last five tests, most recently in January 2026, suggesting the previous owner may have delayed replacing worn rubber. Inspect all four sidewalls for perishing and verify tread depth meets the 1.6mm minimum, particularly on the nearside front. Overall, the record points to a car that has been maintained adequately, with minor wear items addressed rather than ignored.
