2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LC68 PRZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though recent MOT history indicates a recurring trend regarding tyre condition. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 18,989 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged three tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This issue first appeared as an advisory in July 2024 at 17,558 miles and has persisted into the current year. While these are consumable items, the repeated mentions suggest the vehicle may spend extended periods stationary, leading to sidewall degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2019 model, averaging approximately 2,713 miles per year. The records show a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of distance, moving from 14,521 miles in November 2021 to 18,989 miles in July 2025. This low usage pattern aligns with the observed tyre perishing. A significant gap exists between the October 2021 failure and the November 2021 pass, during which the vehicle underwent repairs to address a structural tyre bulge and insufficient parking brake efficiency. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure no deep cracking or structural separation exists beyond the recorded advisories. The 2021 failure regarding parking brake efficiency at 14,198 miles suggests the handbrake mechanism or rear brake shoes may require checking for proper tension and operation. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts for signs of age-related perishing, as these parts can degrade even without significant mechanical wear.
