2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SC63 MVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in December 2025 at 46,856 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than preventative care, as evidenced by the vehicle failing a test just one mile prior to that pass due to a major exhaust leak that prevented an emissions test from completing. While the most recent result suggests the primary issues have been rectified, the history indicates that the owner only addresses significant mechanical faults once they reach the point of a formal MOT failure. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 46,856 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it introduces risks associated with age-related degradation. The data shows a notable gap between January 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered only 7,712 miles in two years. Such long periods of low use can lead to the drying of rubber components and the stagnation of fluids, regardless of the low distance travelled. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system, as the flexi-joint and mounting points have been recurring areas of failure across multiple tests. The history of perished and worn tyres noted in 2023 and 2024 confirms that the vehicle likely sits stationary for extended periods, which often causes dry rot in tyre sidewalls. A physical inspection of the brake discs for corrosion and the suspension bushings is essential, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust and seized calipers when not used frequently enough to clear away debris.
