2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DG64 PXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in October 2025 with 63,103 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a problematic period two years prior. While the latest test initially failed due to a simple non-functional offside rear stop lamp, this was rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass. This suggests that the current owner is responsive to addressing safety-critical defects once identified, rather than ignoring MOT failures. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,103 miles represents a low usage profile, averaging 5,259 miles per year. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the data shows consistent usage patterns, with approximately 5,400 miles driven between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests. The intervals are regular, though the low-mileage nature can sometimes mask from the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle is not subjected to regular use. A physical inspection should focus on the front-end suspension and the exhaust system. The September 2023 failure revealed a nearside front steering linkage ball joint with excessive play and an insecure exhaust system. While these passed subsequent tests, a buyer must verify that no clunking under steering or exhaust vibration has returned. Additionally, the 2024 advisory noted a nearside front oil leak from the driveshaft output seal. Although deemed not excessive, the buyer should check for active seepage to ensure the leak has not progressed to a level that requires immediate seal replacement.
