Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the immediate condition of the braking system. The most recent MOT in September 2026 noted worn and pitted front brake discs, as well as worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely cost of replacing these components immediately.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history to see if the recurring tyre and brake advisories seen in the MOT records have been addressed between tests. Given the pattern of 'pitted or scored' discs appearing year after year, verify if the discs are being replaced alongside the pads or if only the pads are being changed, as the former is necessary to prevent the scoring noted in the records.
The 1200cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model is typically competitive for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs should be factored in with care; while the low mileage suggests fewer mechanical failures, the MOT history indicates a tendency for consumable items like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes to require attention. Expect typical annual running costs to include regular servicing and the occasional replacement of wear items as evidenced by the recent MOT results.
A thorough inspection of the front suspension is essential, as the 2026 MOT specifically identified worn front suspension arm pins/bushes. Test the car on a test drive to check for any knocking or clunking noises from the front end that would indicate these bushes need replacing.
Secondly, inspect the brake discs and pads personally. The records show a long-term trend of pitted and scored discs and thinning pads. Check for any significant lip on the edge of the discs and ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking. Finally, check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres, as 'cracking or perishing' has been a recurring advisory since 2022.
This 2017 grey Peugeot 208 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 33,292 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,903 miles per year. However, the MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, and tyre condition across every recorded test since 2022. While it has passed all tests, the frequency of these wear-and-tear items indicates specific areas that require attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.8% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including drive shaft joints, exhausts, and tyres.
