2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LC16 GEU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the front braking system. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 42,457 miles flagged both front brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored, this represents a progression from the 2024 test at 37,895 miles where they were merely noted as worn. This recurring issue suggests the owner has deferred necessary component replacements. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,246 miles per year. Data shows steady usage with intervals of roughly 4,500 to 5,500 miles between 2021 and 2025 tests. However, the low mileage likely correlates with the issues observed. The November 2022 test at 27,739 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking, which is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods rather than accumulating regular road miles. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly, as the pitting and scoring on the discs indicate they are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require immediate replacement. Given the previous history of tyre perishing, the current age and condition of the rubber compounds must be checked for dry rot, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Additionally, inspecting the rubber components in the suspension bushings is advisable, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of parts that do not experience frequent mechanical wear.
