2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LR64 MYT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing wear in the braking system. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 26,618 miles, the car passed with advisories for thin front brake linings and worn discs on both sides. This represents a progression from the 2023 test where only worn discs were noted, indicating that the braking components now require attention despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,218 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, with only 1,396 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 1,221 miles covered thereafter. While this suggests light use of the drivetrain and engine, the age of the vehicle makes components more susceptible to time-related degradation, which is evident in the recorded defects. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and rubber components. The January 2024 test at 24,001 miles flagged perished rear bushes and worn front suspension arm pins and bushes, alongside cracking or perishing on the rear tyres. Because the vehicle has sat for long periods, rubber elements often dry out and crack irrespective of low mileage, making a thorough check for perishability in the artwork and sidewalls of the tyres essential. Immediate mechanical attention is also required for the front braking assembly. The 2026 advisories for both thin pads and worn discs suggest that a full front overhaul may be necessary shortly to ensure optimal stopping performance. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake caliper seizing or corrosion, which can occur on cars that are not driven frequently.
