2014 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · EY14 HMA

The vehicle holds a solid roadworthiness rating with no recorded defects, but the MOT history indicates a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test of 128,790 miles was passed on 2025-08-27, yet the vehicle has not been tested since 2022, creating a significant gap of 10 years. This lack of recent testing suggests the vehicle may have accumulated wear on critical components such as the suspension bushings and coil springs since the last service. The lack of a MOT in the last 10 years, particularly since 2022, indicates that the car has been stored in a condition that is likely to deteriorate over time, placing it at risk of future structural issues. The mileage profile suggests that while the vehicle has not experienced rapid acceleration in the last decade, the accumulation of 128,790 miles over 10 years is significant. At roughly 10,732 miles per year, the vehicle is approaching the upper limit of typical usage for its age, which implies that maintenance was likely infrequent. The gap between the 2025 and 2022 tests highlights that the car has likely been driven less frequently or stored in a warmer environment since 2022, which would accelerate the failure of suspension and braking components. To ensure the vehicle remains safe and functional, the buyer must conduct a physical inspection immediately following the MOT. The most critical findings are the suspension bushings and coil springs, which have likely accumulated wear since the last MOT. Additionally, the brakes and drivetrain components may require closer monitoring due to the long storage period. A thorough walk-through is essential to verify that the suspension is still within normal limits and that the brakes have not developed binding conditions since 2022. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these components are prone to failure during extended storage.
