2014 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SY14 XNG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 33,226 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a period of neglect in late 2023. Since that failure, the car has maintained a clean record through two consecutive tests without any advisory notices or failures, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the mechanical faults and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2021 and September 2023, where the car covered only 1,854 miles in over 22 months. While this low-mileage history typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and corrosion of braking surfaces that are not always captured in a stationary test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front outer drive shaft joint, as the 2023 failure highlighted a split CV boot. Although it has passed since, these rubber boots are prone to cracking on low-use vehicles which can lead to grease leakage and joint failure. Verify the exhaust mounting system to ensure the repair remains secure and that the system does not vibrate or rattle. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as these components often suffer on cars that sit infrequently.
