2016 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · KS16 WFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 104,018 miles saw an initial failure due to an ABS fault warning lamp and worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day, the presence of an ABS fault suggests an electronic or sensor issue that was cleared or temporarily bypassed, which represents a potential recurring risk if not fully diagnosed. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 25,000 miles recorded between September 2024 at 79,010 miles and the March 2026 test at 104,018 miles. This rapid accumulation over 18 months explains the accelerated wear noted on the rear brake components and tyres during the latest inspection, as high-mileage usage places greater strain on the braking system and suspension assemblies. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system and electronic sensor suite to ensure the ABS fault flagged in 2026 is genuinely resolved rather than masked. The record shows recurring rear-end issues, including worn tyres in 2022 and thin discs recently, suggesting the owner monitors service intervals. Additionally, the nearside front wheel rim damage noted in 2023 should be checked for structural cracks or deep deformation that could affect tyre pressure or handling at higher speeds.
