2017 Peugeot 208 1.6L Diesel · WX17 MFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a significant decline in condition following a period of cleanliness. The most recent test in September 2025 at 31,286 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding the offside front seat belt webbing. This represents an improvement compared to the extensive list of defects recorded in September 2024, where the vehicle suffered multiple failures across suspension, braking, and tyre components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,476 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2022 and September 2023, where only 10 miles were recorded. However, the vehicle covered over 5,400 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, indicating a recent increase in usage. This low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, which can perish or perish due to age and static exposure rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry in detail, as the September 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside suspension arm bushes as de-bonded or perished. While these did not cause a failure that year, the recurring nature of these faults suggests they are nearing replacement. The front brake discs were also noted as pitted and scored in 2024, a common symptom of low-mileage cars where brakes sit without enough friction to clear surface corrosion. The tyre cracking and perishing noted on noted in 2024 indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its life despite having sufficient tread depth. The offside exhaust mounting should be verified as having been replaced or secured to prevent vibration or future failure.
