2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LP18 ADV

The Peugeot 208 passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 20,763 miles with a stable maintenance trend and no failures across the five-year record. The tester raised minor consumable and wear advisories only. Recurring rear brake disc pitting and a distorted near-side front road wheel show slow-developing wear rather than acute failure, and the vehicle remains roadworthy on the evidence of the official tests. The odometer climbed from 12,615 miles in March 2022 to 20,763 miles by March 2026, an average of roughly 2,037 miles per year. This low annual use for an eight-year-old car implies long standing periods between short journeys. The clean tests in 2022 and 2023 at 12,615 and 13,721 miles suggest the prior owner kept basic upkeep current before tyre and wheel faults emerged from 2024 onward. A buyer should inspect the near-side front road wheel distortion first noted in March 2025 at 18,735 miles and still present in March 2026, as a bent rim can cause vibration and uneven tyre wear. Both rear brake discs have shown pitting and scoring since March 2025 at 18,735 miles and again at 20,763 miles; the discs are not seriously weakened but should be measured for thickness and run-out. The March 2026 test also flagged a defective off-side front wiper blade and earlier 2024 sidewall cracking on both front tyres, so verify current rubber condition and screen wash operation. No structural corrosion, suspension bush failure, or exhaust emission breaches appear in the record. The pattern points to light use with deferred minor items rather than neglected mechanical core components, though in-person checks on brakes, wheel trueness, and tyre sidewalls remain sensible before purchase.
