2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KT19 OUO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding consumables. While it passed the latest MOT on 12 June 2026 at 46,586 miles, it failed a test just three weeks prior at 46,564 miles. The failure was caused by split CV boots on both front drive shafts and severely worn, perished tyres. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced to by an inspection failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 25,707 miles and the June 2026 test at 46,586 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, indicating steady but moderate use. However, the low annual mileage explains the recurring issues with tyre cracking and perished sidewalls across multiple years, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods, leading to rubber degradation despite low tread depth. A buyer must personally inspect the front drive shafts to ensure the new CV boots have been fitted correctly and no grease is leaking from the joints. The 2023 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs; while these have passed since, the current condition should be checked for thinness or uneven wear. Given the persistent history of perishing and cracking tyres, a thorough check of all four tyres is essential to ensure they have been replaced with fresh rubber rather than aged stock that merely meets the legal tread limit.
