2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · EX69 CXG

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline regarding rubber-related components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 21,463 miles passed, the tester flagged perishing and cracking across all four tyres. This represents a progression from the 2024 test where only slight cracking and a minor cut were noted, indicating the rubber is degrading due to age rather than mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, moving from 6,673 miles in 2022 to 11,706 miles in 2023, and a jump of 4,757 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it directly explains the oxidisation of the tyre compounds seen in the MOT history. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the physical condition of the tyres and other rubber elements, as the recurring reports of perishing suggest dry rot is setting. The nearside rear seat belt webbing noted in 2024 also requires a physical check for further fraying to ensure structural integrity of the restraint system. Since no structural corrosion or suspension faults were recorded, the focus should remain on potential brake binding or seized calipers, which can occur on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods between uses.
