2014 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · SF64 WPA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 55,703 miles passed despite an advisory for rear brake discs being worn, pitted or scored. This follows a similar advisory from March 2025 where both rear brake discs were flagged, alongside a defective central front exhaust mounting. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of brake component degradation suggests that parts are only addressed when they approach failure limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,642 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the recorded period, with an increase of 1,833 miles between March 2024 and 1,735 miles by March 2025. This low mileage often results in less wear on engine internal components but can lead to accelerated corrosion of rubber components and surface rust on metal, evidenced by the split nearside front CV boot recorded in March 2024. A buyer should focus closely on the braking system during a physical inspection. The repeated reports of pitting and scoring on the rear discs across two consecutive years indicate that the vehicle may sit for long periods or experience underutilized brakes, leading to surface oxidation. Inspect the nearside front drive shaft CV boot to ensure the previous failure resulted in a complete replacement and has not caused damage to the joint itself. Additionally, verify the exhaust mounting noted in early 2025 to ensure the system is secure and not showing signs of vibration-induced wear.
