2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KP14 DBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy in the sense that the most recent MOT pass was made in July 2025, placing it firmly within the current testing window. However, the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, with a significant gap between the most recent test and the next one, which indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped. The second MOT, recorded in July 2024, failed on 85,232 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been under heavy load or that the owner has been absent for a prolonged period without reporting a MOT. This creates a substantial risk of future failures, particularly given the vehicle's age of 12 years. The mileage accumulation is concerning given the vehicle's age, with 93,224 miles recorded since the last MOT. While the vehicle is approximately 7,769 miles per year, the gap between the July 2025 test and the July 2024 test represents a 10,000-mile interval. This rapid mileage increase, combined with the failure of the June 2023 test at 75,692 miles, suggests that the owner has been using the car heavily for a long time, likely in a commercial or high-traffic environment. The absence of a full MOT history between the July 2025 and July 2024 tests reinforces the conclusion that basic maintenance was neglected, leaving the vehicle exposed to severe wear. In conclusion, while the vehicle passes the current MOT, the history indicates a serious risk of future mechanical failure due to the gap in records and the excessive mileage. Buyers must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of the brake discs, suspension components, and tyres, as the history shows signs of wear that may not be present on the MOT certificate. A full MOT is strongly recommended to assess the condition of the engine, exhaust, and drivetrain, as the vehicle has failed on multiple occasions, including the front brake disc in July 2023.
