2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · OV16 BWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 25 November 2025 at 64,934 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline after several years of relatively clean records. The test failed just one mile prior at 64,933 miles due to excessively worn front suspension arm bushes and perished rear tyres. While the car passed the subsequent day after reported repairs, the appearance of multiple suspension failures suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life requiring reactive rather than preventative attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 9,000 miles between November 2024 and November 2025, and a similar 9,000-mile gap between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, which often explains the gradual degradation of rubber components like the tyres and bushes noted in the late 2025 test. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension to ensure the worn arm bushes were replaced with high-quality parts and that no play remains in the steering geometry. The 2022 record flagged pitted front brake discs and a defective exhaust mounting, so the current state of the braking system and exhaust hangers should be verified for corrosion or vibration. Given the perishing noted on the tyres in the most recent test, the age of all tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking, as low mileage often leads to rubber hardening before the tread depth wears out.
