2012 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SY62 XTT

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate as of June 2nd, 2026, with a recorded mileage of 55,448 miles. However, the maintenance history shows a clear and persistent trend of recurring mechanical faults. The 2025 inspections flagged multiple simultaneous issues, including worn front tyres, pitted brake discs, evidence of suspension component damage, and oil leaks, which were subsequently re-flagged in the same period. This pattern suggests that underlying mechanical or preventative maintenance issues have not been resolved, indicating a worsening condition rather than a stable one. The mileage accumulation is steady, with 3,961 miles recorded per year over the last decade, which is considered low for a 2012 model. The history shows consistent mileage progression from 47,899 miles in 2024 to 50,747 miles in mid-2025, and finally to 55,448 miles in the current test. This steady rate of use is typical, but the repeated failure to address specific component wear, such as the front tyre condition and brake disc integrity, suggests a lack of proactive servicing. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, as the record indicates a corroded offside front coil spring and external damage to the rear shock absorbers. The front brake discs have been noted as worn and pitted, requiring immediate attention. Furthermore, the history points to body and sill corrosion, and an insecure constant velocity boot on the drive shaft. The recurring oil leaks and the presence of minor exhaust leaks also require inspection to ensure no ongoing fluid or gas ingress is present.
