2015 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · MK65 FML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in January 2026, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic upkeep. While three previous annual tests were clean, the test on 5 January 2026 at 49,611 miles failed due to a non-functional nearside side repeater and multiple tyre-related defects. These issues were rectified to secure the pass, suggesting the owner is reactive to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,611 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,510 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 1,023 miles driven between October 2023 and December 2024, and another 1,108 miles between December 2024 and January 2026. This low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids during periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the January 2026 test flagged perishing on the nearside rear tyre and thin tread on both front tyres. Perishing is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber hardens over time despite low tread depth. You should also check the suspension bushes and brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-use cycles can lead to seized calipers or perished seals. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the history is a positive indicator, but the recent failure indicates that minor electrical and consumable items are being overlooked by the previous owner.
