2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MA14 GUX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following recent repairs. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2025 at 70,936 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a period of reactive maintenance, the last two consecutive clean passes suggest the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state without immediate safety failures. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,936 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,600 miles covered before the most recent inspection. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, though low-mileageage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity, which is reflected in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and drivetrain due to recurring failures in these areas. The 2024 failure highlighted both nearside and offside front coil springs as fractured, alongside a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot. While these were repaired to secure the subsequent pass, an inspector should check for any remaining grease leakage from the CV boots or any clunking noises that might indicate further suspension wear. The history of a deteriorated CV boot back in 2023 also suggests that the front-end rubber components may be prone to premature wear. Electrical components such as the side repeaters and registration plate lamps appeared in the 2023 and 2024 failures. Although these are minor items, a quick functional check of all exterior lighting and indicators is necessary to ensure no new wiring issues have developed on the vehicle. Beyond these specific points, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or brake system issues, which is positive for a Peugeot of this age.
