2015 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LS64 AWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical and electrical issues. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 59,809 miles passed, it introduced three new defects that were not present in previous years. The appearance of an inoperative registration lamp, high handbrake travel, and a physical interference between the anti-roll bar and the brake caliper indicates that the vehicle is beginning to require attention beyond basic maintenance as it ages. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between January 2023 and January 2024, and nearly 9,000 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation, such as rubber components per or corrosion, if the vehicle sits for long periods between uses. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front anti-roll bar to ensure it is not causing damage to the brake caliper, as the fouling on full lock could lead to premature component wear or failure. The high handbrake travel noted in the 2026 test suggests the cables may be need adjustment or the shoes/discs are thinning. Additionally, although the minor exhaust leak identified in early 2025 was resolved, the buyer should check the entire exhaust system for signs of structural corrosion to ensure the repair was permanent rather than a temporary fix.
