2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · GK67 USC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension components and wear items. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 93,830 miles passed, it followed a failure just two miles prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The recurrence of worn suspension arm bushes across all four front corners indicates a significant lack of preventative maintenance, suggesting that the rubber components in the front assembly are reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 71,105 miles in December 2023 to 86,462 miles in December 2024, and reaching 93,830 miles by the latest test. This interval regularity suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which explains the progressive degradation of rubber suspension bushes and tyres noted in the advisories. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the repeated flagging of worn arm pins and bushes suggests that previous repairs may have been deferred. These components require immediate replacement to ensure stable handling and to prevent uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre has consistently been noted as being near the legal limit across multiple years, indicating that the entire set of tyres should be checked for depth and potential alignment issues.
