2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KY62 JFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on June 5, 2025 at 86,514 miles. This recent result indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been successfully addressed. While the 2024 test revealed specific failures, the lack of any advisories in the latest inspection suggests the current owner is reactive to MOT failure requirements rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,180 miles per year over its fourteen-year life. There is a notable gap in records between October 2023 at 77,339 miles and June 2024 at 80,945 miles, where the car covered only 3,600 miles in eight months. This low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing, as seen in the tyre history. A physical inspection should focus on the nearside front drive shaft to ensure the CV boot replaced after 2024 remains intact and free of grease. The previous inner-edge wear on both rear tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature wear on new rubber. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, the buyer should also check for cracking in the bushings and brake hoses, as the perishing tyres noted in June 2024 point to age-related degradation of rubber components.
