2014 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · LX64 KMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 27,001 miles, it initially failed due to a nearside front tyre with a deep cut reaching the cords and excessive wear on the edge. This failure indicates that the previous owner only addressed critical faults once they triggered an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,250 miles per year. The record shows steady but minimal growth, moving from 19,343 miles in August 2022 to 27,001 miles in 2025. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but the long intervals between tests often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion which are not always captured by a mileage-based inspection. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment. The recurring advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge across every test from 2022 to 2025 points to a persistent tracking issue, likely a worn ball joint or misaligned camber setting. This misalignment will cause rapid degradation of new tyres regardless of quality. Additionally, given the low mileage, check the brake discs for pitting and surface rust, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from seized calipers that can affect braking performance over time.
