2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LG62 HPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 66,802 miles resulted in a pass despite noted advisories for both rear tyres being worn near the legal limit and thinning. This suggests that while the car remains mechanically capable of passing, the owner has deferred replacing consumable items until they reached a critical state of wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 7,383 miles, followed by roughly 6,100 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation, perished seals, and corrosion-related issues if the vehicle has sat for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across the 2024 and 2025 tests suggest potential issues with tracking or worn suspension bushes. The 2024 failure regarding the stop lamp and registration light indicates that basic electrical bulb checks were overlooked prior to testing. Given the low mileage and high age, a thorough check of the rubber components, brake lines, and structural points for corrosion is essential, as these parts often fail due to time rather than mileage.
