2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · RO64 WKJ

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failure during its most recent inspection. While the car maintained a clean record from 2020 through early 2023, the test on 26 March 2024 at 93,110 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects. This indicates a significant break in the previously stable maintenance trend and suggests that a mechanical or safety component issue emerged shortly after the previous pass which was not addressed or documented prior to the retest. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-annual usage, averaging approximately 7,760 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between March 2022 at 70,965 miles and April 2023 at 84,456 miles, the vehicle covered 13,491 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The gap of 8,654 miles between the 2023 pass and 2024 failure follows this trajectory, though the age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids is likely to occur despite the relatively low distance driven. A buyer must investigate the specific cause of the March 2024 failure to ensure the underlying issue was fully rectified. Because the previous tests showed no advisories, the failure likely relates to a specific component such as a suspension mount, a brake hose, or an emissionsrelated leak. Given the age of the Peugeot, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these areas often degrade on low-mileage vehicles regardless of distance driven.
