2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · HV14 LSX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean history to showing developing component wear. In the October 2025 test at 56,082 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were absent in the previous four years. While the car passed, the appearance of suspension and braking issues suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber and metal components require attention due to age despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 registration, averaging only about 4,700 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered only 23,552 miles, resulting in three consecutive clean records. However, the mileage increased by 7,129 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low-frequency usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of metal surfaces, which aligns with the mechanical defects noted in the latest mileage report. A buyer should focus on the front assembly during a physical inspection. The 2025Test noted wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes, alongside worn front brake discs. These components should be checked for play or further thinning to Ensure they do not lead to a safety-critical failure. The defective rear exhaust mounting also requires verification to ensure the exhaust system is not vibrating heavily or at risk of dropping from the underbody.
