2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KT19 OUN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to reactive repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 25,042 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory regarding perishing front tyres. This follows a more problematic period in April 2025 where the car failed due to a serious shock absorber leak and lighting issues, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail inspection rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 11,767 miles and April 2024 at 18,861 miles, the car covered over 7,000 miles, but usage dropped back to a much lower annual rate in the following years. This low usage often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components, which explains the cracking and perishing of the front tyres noted in the latest inspection despite the low tread depth. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system closely, as the 2025 test flagged pitted and scored inner brake discs. While the car passed subsequently, low-mileage vehicles often surface corrosion on rotors when they are not used frequently. The offside rear shock absorber also requires visual verification to ensure the replacement following the 2025 failure was completed correctly. Given the age-related tyre damage, the condition of all four tyres and suspension rubber bushes should be checked for dry rot or cracking that a MOT tester might overlook.
