2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KS66 CSX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 50,120 miles identified pitting and scoring on both front brake discs alongside degradation of the nearside rear tyre. While the car passed, the appearance of brake disc surface corrosion and tyre wear after a clean 2023 record suggests components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles annually. Between November 2022 at 41,393 miles and November 2025 at 50,120 miles, the car covered under 9,000 miles. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the repeated reports of cracking and perishing tyres in both 2022 and 2025, despite the low physical distance driven. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front wheel bearing, which was flagged for slight play in 2024 and was not explicitly cleared in the subsequent test. The recurring history of fractured exhaust hangers and uneven tyre wear indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require close attention. Given the recent pitting on the front brake discs, a physical check of the pad thickness and rotor condition is necessary to ensure they have not reached the minimum allowable limit due to long periods of stationary use.
