2014 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · FX14 YDD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on March 8 2025 at 143,640 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. The failures in both December 2024 and March 2025 occurred within miles of the pass, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical or safety defects when prompted by the MOT testing process rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK road use patterns, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. A significant gap of 14,721 miles was recorded between November 2023 and December 2024, indicating a period of high usage during that thirteen-month window. Since then, the vehicle has covered 1,013 miles between the final two tests in early 2025 to reach the current recorded figure. This high total mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake hardware over the twelve-year lifespan. While the most recent test shows no recorded advisories, the buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underside components. High-mileage Peugeot models of this era often suffer from worn front control arm bushes and coil springs. Given the recurring failures in the last two tests, a technician should specifically check for binding brake calipers or exhaust corrosion that may have triggered the initial failures before being rectified. Close attention should also be paid to any any signs of structural thinning or significant rust on the exhaust system which are common failure points for vehicles exceeding 140,000 miles.
