2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KM62 TYF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on October 10, 2025, at 56,842 miles. The maintenance trend is improving as the mechanical failures identified in the previous year were successfully addressed and rectified. The absence of defects in the most recent test indicates that the previous owner was proactive in maintaining safety-critical components once faults were flagged by the. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,060 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 7,549 miles, moving from 47,293 to 56,842 miles. This low usage pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals, which often aligns with the issues seen in cars that sit for months. The failure on October 2, 2024, at 53,274 miles highlighted a split offside front outer CV boot and an excessively binding offside rear service brake. While these were cleared, a buyer should personally inspect the offside front drive shaft for signs of grease leakage or premature play which would indicate the replacement boot is failing. The rear brake caliper should be checked for heat damage to ensure the previous binding condition did not cause uneven pad wear or disc glazing. Given the age and low annual mileage, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the underbody and suspension bushes is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer more from oxidation than those frequently driven.
