2015 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · KT15 THG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward developing front-end suspension wear. The most recent test in May 2026 at 111,856 miles identified advisories for a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While the car passed the test, these issues follow a previous failure in the same area for a worn ball joint, suggesting that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life cycle. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. This usage aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a hatchback of this age. There was a notable jump in mileage between April 2024 at 81,142 miles and May 2025 at 95,521 miles, representing over 14,000 miles in a single year. However, the interval between tests has remained regular, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record for three years following the 2023 failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front assembly to assess the extent of the play in the anti-roll bar link. Because the tester has already flagged a worn suspension arm bush, these components will likely require replacement soon to prevent a future MOT failure. Given the mileage, it is also advisable to check the condition of the rear suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as wear often occurs concurrently with the front components. No structural corrosion or brake issues have been noted in the history, which focuses the immediate mechanical concern entirely on the suspension geometry.
