2014 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · KY14 HFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 29 November 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern following periods of intermittent failure. While the car failed tests in both 2023 and 2024, the owner consistently addressed the identified issues to secure subsequent passes during retests. This suggests that the vehicle is responsive to safety-critical-test requirements rather than allowing minor faults to escalate into major mechanical failures. At 142,206 miles, this Peugeot 208 has averaged approximately 11,850 miles per year, a figure that aligns closely with the national average for a twelve-year-old car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between September 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,447 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This regularity in mileage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. Although the record does not detail the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, a manual check is required to inspect the suspension bushes, control arms, and brake lines for common wear on this model. Given the high mileage, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and check the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding or excessive thinning exists despite the recent clean passes.
