2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · OU14 URR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 March 2026, following two consecutive failures within the same month. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening in terms of mechanical complexity, moving from minor consumable advisories to significant emissions and braking issues. While the 2026 pass suggests the immediate failures were rectified, the rapid succession of major defects indicates a period of mechanical instability. The recorded mileage of 76,026 miles for a 2014 vehicle averages approximately 6,336 miles per year. This usage level is typical for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern from 2024 through 2026, providing a clear view of the vehicle's recent mechanical state. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with the braking system and exhaust emissions. The 2024 test flagged binding rear brakes and pitted front inner brake discs, a condition that returned as an advisory in March 2026. The March 2026 failures specifically identified both nearside and offside rear service brakes as binding, with the offside rear being noted as excessively binding. A buyer should inspect the rear brake calipers, discs, and pads for signs of seized components or uneven wear. Emissions failures also present a significant concern. Tests on 2 March 2026 and 26 March 2026 both recorded major defects regarding high carbon monoxide content and Lambda readings outside specified limits. These faults suggest potential issues with the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, or engine management systems. Additionally, the March 2026 advisories regarding worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front should be physically checked for excessive movement or play during a pre-purchase inspection. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
