2014 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · FE64 BOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 26,864 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to structural tyre damage and excessive wear. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring issues with monitor tyres and suspension components across the 2023 to 2025 period. At 12 years old, the recorded 26,864 miles represent exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 2,239 miles per year. This low mileage frequency explains the presence of rubber-related degradation such as perishing and cracking noted in the records. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered only 433 miles, yet it suffered from multiple failures including perished tyres and a split CV boot. This indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which often leads to the drying out of seals and surface corrosion despite low mileage-driven wear. A prospective buyer must inspect the condition of all rubber components, as these have shown recurring weaknesses. The 2023 test flagged worn suspension arm bushes and pitted brake discs, while the 2024 failure identified a split offside drive shaft CV boot. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres for sidewall cracking or structural tears, as the 2025 failure specifically highlighted structural separation in the rear tyres. The exhaust mounting also requires verification to ensure the previously noted back box bracket has not deteriorated into a more significant failure.
