2015 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FP15 ACO

The 2015 Peugeot 208 passed its latest MOT on 5 January 2026 at 105,118 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness, but the preceding history reveals a pattern of recurring suspension and brake faults that have not been fully eliminated. Covering roughly nine years, the mileage has risen from 38,146 miles in September 2017 to 105,118 miles by January 2026, averaging about 11,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age; the increments between tests show steady growth with no extended periods of inactivity, and the most recent 7,236‑mile increase from 2025 to 2026 suggests continued regular use rather than long standing. Recurring items such as worn suspension arm ball joints, excessive play in track rod ends, deteriorated constant‑velocity boots, and persistent brake disc wear point to components that should be examined closely, as should the off‑side rear wheel bearing noise, exhaust mounting defects, and the structural deformation noted on the outer sill in 2020, while tyre wear patterns and inoperative registration plate lamps indicate basic maintenance may have been uneven. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension linkages, verify that the brake discs and pads are within service limits and that calipers move freely, test the constant‑velocity joints for play, assess the exhaust system for secure mounting and signs of rust, and check the chassis sills for corrosion or deformation, all of which will confirm whether the recent MOT result reflects genuine stability or merely the absence of immediate failures.
