2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · DU65 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 82,248 miles passed, it carried advisories for pitted and scored front brake discs both sides. This follows a significant failure in October 2024 where the car presented a critical safety risk with a seized bonnet secondary catch. The recurrence of brake related issues and lighting failures suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten an MOT pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between July 2019 at 45,423 miles and September 2020 at 60,765 miles, where the car covered over 15,000 miles in a short period. Since then, the usage has stabilized at a steady rate of roughly 7,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage explains the presence of perishing and cracking on rubber components and tyres seen in the earlier records. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the persistent pitting and scoring on the discs across 2024 and 2025 indicates significant corrosion or lack of replacement. The seized secondary bonnet catch also requires physical verification to ensure the mechanism has been properly replaced and not merely lubricated. Given the history of worn on edge tyres and perished sidewalls, a thorough check of the current tyre age and suspension alignment is essential to ensure previous uneven wear issues have been resolved.
