2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · V6 TAC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the December 2025 test at 61,814 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a period of inconsistent upkeep regarding consumables. While the 2023 test saw a failure due to insufficient tyre tread and a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests indicate that these mechanical and safety issues were addressed. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 39,227 miles in December 2022 to 61,814 miles in December 2025. This pattern suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial application. The absence of sudden mileage spikes indicates a predictable wear profile for the drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and rubber components. The December 2024 test flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, which suggests the rubber may be aging despite having sufficient tread. This recurring issue with tyre condition implies that while the owner addresses immediate legal requirements, they may neglect preventative maintenance on ageing consumables. Inspect the drive shaft boots and suspension joints during a physical examination to ensure the CV boot issue noted in December 2023 has been fully rectified with high-quality parts. Given the history of tyre wear and perishing, check the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four wheels. The recent clean MOT suggests the vehicle is currently in a good state, but the history of minor failures necessitates a close look at all rubber seals and suspension bushings.
