2017 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · WN17 VLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 13,181 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or resolved. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the majority of its testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Peugeot, averaging approximately 1,465 miles per year. Between April 2022 and 2026, the car covered only 2,045 miles, which reflects very light usage or extended periods of inactivity. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often exposes the vehicle to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion on brake assemblies due to lack of regular heat cycles and friction. A buyer should pay specific attention to the offside front service brake binding noted during the April 2025 test at 12,815 miles. Although the vehicle passed the following year without this fault, a binding caliper often indicates a sticking caliper piston or corroded slide pins that can recur over time. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should also verify the brake discs for surface pitting and check the suspension bushes for cracking, as these materials can perish from age regardless of the low mileage.
