2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · PE18 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on June 2 2026 at 17,575 miles. Following a specific failure in 2024, the maintenance trend has improved, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last two inspections. This suggests that previous mechanical and structural concerns have been addressed and are maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage intervals, such as the 1,554 miles driven between March 2025 and June 2026. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long periods between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components. This is explicitly confirmed by the 2024 failure where multiple tyres suffered despite the low mileage. The failure in March 2024 at 15,007 miles highlighted significant structural perishing across all four tyres, specifically regarding cracking and structural separation. While these were clearly replaced to achieve the subsequent pass, a buyer must inspect the current tyres for signs of age rot or flat spotting caused by the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. Physical inspection should also target the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or glazed brake pads due to lack of friction.
