2008 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · LB08 AEZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 18 March 2026 at 92,778 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the record reveals a recent failure on 17 March 2026 due to both front tyres being below the legal 1.6mm tread depth limit. This indicates a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance, as seen previously in March 2019 when the vehicle failed on multiple tyre defects including structural separation. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, with repairs often following immediate failures rather than addressing developing issues during advisory stages. The mileage profile shows a consistent, low-intensity usage pattern averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan. The vehicle has covered 92,778 miles, which is significantly lower than typical for its age. Data shows steady annual increments, such as the 7,402 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, though it may have spent periods stationary, which can contribute to the rubber degradation and component wear noted in the history. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry. The records show a persistent trend of play in the tie rod arms and steering rack, with faults appearing in 2018, 2022, and 2023. The 2024 test also identified play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. Recurring issues with wheel bearings, specifically the nearside rear bearing flagged in 2024 and 2025, suggest that wheel hub assemblies may require attention. The history also highlights potential concerns regarding corrosion and lighting. The 2017 test noted a corroded exhaust rear box, so the current state of the exhaust system and underside should be verified. While the 2022 failure regarding registration and fog lamps was resolved, the frequent advisories for worn wiper blades and tyres suggest that general upkeep of minor consumables has been inconsistent. A thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorber seals is advised, following the light oil misting reported on the offside front shock in 2023.
