2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · NG65 HHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT in February 2026. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive servicing rather than proactive care. The failure in February 2026 at 61,168 miles was due to critically worn front brake pads and pitted discs, alongside a failing offside front tyre. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the record suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered 15,749 miles, indicating steady but low-intensity usage. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a similar interval of 7,418 miles. This low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the gradual degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system, as the 2026 failure indicated significant corrosion and scoring on the discs. The 2025 advisory regarding a corroded exhaust flexi pipe suggests the exhaust system is nearing its end of life and should be checked for leaks or structural thinning. Furthermore, the recurring mentions of uneven tyre wear in both 2025 and 2026 point to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional investigation. A thorough check of the current tyres for edge wear is essential to ensure the previous faults have not returned.
