2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · KT66 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 121,694 miles passed despite recorded advisories for pitting and scoring on both front brake discs and a non-excessive oil leak. While the car remains legal, the appearance of these issues suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical components require more frequent replacement due to high-mile wear. At 121,694 miles, this nine-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per year, which sits above the typical national average for a car of this age. Between March 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 4,560 miles in just eleven months, indicating consistent and high-intensity usage. This mileage profile places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is reflected in the state of the hardware noted during the latest inspection. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in February 2026, as even non-excessive leaks can indicate failing gaskets or crank seals that will worsen over time. The history of an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in 2025 is also a concern, as it suggests electronic faults may have been cleared or ignored previously. Furthermore, the pitting and scoring on the front brake discs necessitate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance, as surface degradation often leads to premature wear of new pads.
