2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · MT64 KXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 6, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its latest test, it failed just one day prior due to excessively worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front alongside a hole in the nearside sill. The fact that these suspension components were replaced only immediately after a failure suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when they threatened the vehicle's legality. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, totaling 41,017 miles at an average of approximately 3,400 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 11,872-mile interval between July 2024 and June 2026. These periods of low use correlate with the age-related degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the repeated advisories for perishing and cracking tyres in 2023 and 2024. When a car sits for long periods, tyres and bushes fail due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection of the nearside sill. The record shows a hole in the sill in 2025 which persisted into the June 2026 test, indicating potential corrosion that may not have been properly repaired or welded. You should verify the integrity of the chassis to ensure rust is not spreading beyond the visible area. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding thin brake pads and pitted discs indicates that the braking system is subject to neglect intervals, necessitating a check of the current pad thickness and rotor condition.
