2022 Peugeot 208 Active Premium + P-Tech SS 1.2L Petrol · NL72 VVF

Tyre wear on the off‑side front wheel and a TPMS warning dominate the recent MOT outcome, indicating a clear area of concern that outweighs the otherwise minor advisories recorded. On 19 September 2025 the vehicle failed the test because the front‑right tyre was close to the legal limit and the TPMS indicator was illuminated, while the same day a pass was logged for the remaining items, with only a defective wiper blade and a lightly lipped front brake disc noted as advisories. The presence of both a failure and a pass on the same date highlights a mixed picture: the core safety systems are largely acceptable, but tyre condition requires immediate attention. With 19 301 miles recorded for a four‑year‑old 2022 Peugeot 208, the average annual mileage is roughly 4 800 mi, well below the typical UK usage rate. Such low utilisation often points to light or intermittent use, which can be gentle on wear items but may also allow moisture to sit on brakes and rubber components when the car sits for extended periods. The limited MOT history—only the 2025 entries provided—means there are no earlier trends to confirm whether the tyre wear is an isolated incident or part of a gradual pattern, so the current mileage alone does not guarantee component longevity. For a prospective buyer, the first priority should be a thorough inspection of the front‑right tyre: measure tread depth across the centre and edges, feel for any soft spots or bulges, and confirm that the tyre is the correct specification for the vehicle. Verify that the TPMS sensor is functional by checking that the warning light extinguishes after setting the correct pressures; any intermittent illumination could indicate a failing sensor or a slow leak. The front brake discs, flagged as slightly lipped, should be examined for scoring or excessive thinning, and a road test should include firm, progressive braking without pulsation or squeal, which would suggest the discs are still within safe limits but may be approaching the end of their service life. Finally, replace the defective near‑side front wiper blade and inspect the wiper arm for corrosion or looseness, as visibility is a legal requirement. Given the low mileage, also check the condition of rubber hoses, suspension bushes and the steering rack for any cracking or hardening that can develop during periods of inactivity. During a test drive, listen for any knocking over bumps, feel for steering pull or vibration, and ensure the pedal feel is consistent; any anomalies could reveal underlying wear not captured by the MOT record and should be addressed before committing to purchase.
