2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · ML18 EWF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, showing reactive attention to minor faults. The most recent test in August 2025 at 31,997 miles passed with only a minor failure for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This indicates that the previous owner addresses basic electrical compliance issues as they arise, and there are no significant mechanical or structural failures recorded in the recent inspection history. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between March 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 10,153 miles, representing a consistent pattern of roughly 3,300 miles annually thereafter. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short urban trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally preserves wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the buyer should be mindful of the fact that long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or flat spotting on tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as records show a recurring pattern of wear. The 2022 failure and 2023 advisory highlighted thin brake pads and worn front discs on both sides. While these were likely replaced following the advisories, the current state of the discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or excessive thinning. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn to 2mm on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that warrants verification to ensure the current tyres are not scrubbing prematurely.
