2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FN16 LYZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state following a clean MOT result in May 2026 at 93,891 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability during mid-2025 when the car failed its test due to multiple mechanical defects, including a failing front wheel bearing and oil leaks. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the underlying history suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative care during that interval. At 93,891 miles, the car has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. This mileage is consistent with typical UK usage patterns, suggesting regular driving rather than long periods stationary. The data shows a steady accumulation, with roughly 11,400 miles covered between July 2024 and May 2025, and another 5,000 miles in the final year, which indicates a consistent demand on wear-related components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front bearing was flagged for slight play in 2024 and progressed to a failure in 2025. There is also a documented history of corrosion on the rear suspension mounting points and artwork springs dating back to 2023 and 2024. While these were not considered excessive at the time, the presence of rust requires ongoing monitoring to ensure structural integrity does not degrade. Furthermore, the presence of oil leaks from both the engine and gearbox noted in 2025 necessitates a thorough check to ensure these have been properly sealed and are not merely weeping. The minor exhaust leak identified in 2024 should also be verified to ensure it has not worsened. Given the previous failure for uneven tyre wear on the nearside front, the artwork alignment should be checked to prevent furtherages degradation of new tyres.
