2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MK67 OPN

The 2017 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and largely improving maintenance trend, culminating in a relatively clean pass on 16 February 2026 at 54,182 miles. The most recent test flagged only a minor advisory for front brake disc wear, described as lipped but not excessively worn. This is a marked improvement over the 2025 test, which recorded multiple advisories including a corroding central front exhaust mounting, a minor exhaust gas leak at the rear support bracket, and worn or pitted front discs. The trajectory from 2025 to 2026 suggests the previous owner addressed the exhaust corrosion issues and allowed the brake disc wear to remain within acceptable tolerance rather than deteriorating further. The vehicle has consistently passed every recorded MOT since 2022, with no outright failures on record. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,020 miles per year is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age, and the progression is steady rather than erratic. Between March 2022 and February 2023, the car covered approximately 5,958 miles, then 6,087 miles to February 2024, 5,161 miles to February 2025, and 6,530 miles in the most recent year to February 2026. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest prolonged standing or extreme use. The annual test intervals are consistent, with each MOT falling within a narrow window around February, indicating a regular servicing and inspection pattern rather than neglect or deferred maintenance. A buyer should pay close attention to the front brake discs and pads, given that wear has been flagged in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. While the 2026 advisory downgraded the severity from "pitted or scored" to a simple lipping wear pattern, the recurring nature of this defect suggests the discs may be nearing replacement or that the vehicle has been driven in conditions that accelerate disc wear. The exhaust system warrants a thorough under-vehicle inspection. The 2025 test recorded a corroded central front mounting and a rear support bracket that had corroded off its pipe, allowing a minor gas leak. Although these did not reappear in 2026, corrosion of this nature on a nine-year-old exhaust can be progressive, and the repaired or replaced sections should be checked for integrity, particularly around welds and mounting points. The offside front CV gaiter, noted in 2025 as secured with cable ties and seeping grease, is another area requiring physical inspection. Cable tie repairs are temporary fixes at best, and any ingress of dirt into the joint could accelerate wear on the driveshaft constant velocity joint. Finally, the rear tyre damage recorded in 2023, including perishing, cracking around a previous repair, and a nail puncture, suggests the previous owner may have run on compromised rubber. Tyre condition should be verified across all four corners, with particular attention to the sidewalls and any evidence of slow punctures or repairs.
