2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LR64 MYP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 16 August 2025 at 64,504 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the failure just five days prior to that pass indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged a critically worn nearside rear tyre and both front prop shaft CV boots, suggesting that the owner only sought to rectify faults once a formal failure was issued. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,375 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2024 and August 2025, where the car covered 11,560 miles, compared to the roughly 5,000 miles recorded in the 2022 to 2023 period. This low total annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake-related issues if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should physically inspect the front drive shafts for signs of grease leakage, as the 2025 failure highlighted both the nearside and offside boots as failing. While these were likely replaced to pass, checking for clicking noises during tight turns ensures the joints remain intact. Given the age and low mileage, close attention must be paid to corrosion on the exhaust system and suspension components, as low-use vehicles often suffer from environmental-related decay rather than mechanical wear. Verify the brake discs for any surface pitting or heavy rust, which would indicate the car has not been used frequently enough to keep the components clean.
