2014 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · SY14 XNH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a clear improving trend with the most recent test in February 2026, where the front brakes were passed on a full 36,015-mile basis. This suggests that the primary concerns identified in the earlier 2024 and 2023 tests were likely resolved, as the brake discs showed no signs of serious weakening or corrosion. However, the 2025 test revealed a persistent issue in the rear suspension, where the rear service brakes were flagged as binding but not excessively so. This indicates that while the brakes have been maintained, the suspension components may still require attention to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern is characterized by a significant gap between the most recent test and the initial inspection, with the vehicle having only 29,969 miles recorded in March 2024. This substantial difference suggests that the owner may have been absent for a substantial period, allowing wear on the suspension bushings and coil springs to accumulate. The 2025 test further confirms that the vehicle has maintained a high mileage rate of approximately 3,001 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age but points to a lack of consistent maintenance schedules. Given the recurring binding condition in the rear brakes and the progressive wear on suspension parts, the buyer should inspect the entire rear axle for bushings and springs before proceeding. The vehicle is not roadworthy until the binding brakes are tightened and the suspension is checked for wear, as the current mileage and age suggest that these components are likely approaching the point of failure.
