2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · SH71 FLP

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest inspection has introduced a minor mechanical advisory that was not present in the previous year. The presence of slight play in the nearside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint indicates the beginning of wear in the suspension components, but this does not currently constitute a failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test and the March 2026 test, the car covered only 2,298 miles, suggesting a pattern of infrequent use or short trips. This low usage typically results in less strain on the drivetrain and braking system, although low mileage can sometimes lead to rubber perish or brake flat spotting if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front lower anti-roll bar linkage in person to ensure the play has not progressed, as minor joint issues can eventually lead to audible knocking or further component failure. The tester also noted an insecure front registration plate and an altered headlight adjuster, which are simple visual security checks. Given the low mileage, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of the tyres and brake discs to ensure they have not suffered from age-related degradation despite the lack of mechanical wear.
