2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · YA18 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 22 June 2026 at 23,563 miles passed after a minor failure for misaligned offside windscreen washer jets. While the immediate status is clean, the previous years show a recurring trend of avoidable consumable failures, suggesting that the owner only addresses defects when necessitated by the MOT testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 8-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,945 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the progression from 9,421 miles in June 2021 to 23,563 miles in June 2026. However, this low mileage correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. The record shows multiple issues with tyre perishing and structural tearing between 2023 and 2025, indicating that the car likely sits for long periods, causing materials to perish. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and braking system, as the structural tyre failures noted in the June 2025 test at 21,070 miles indicate a risk of dry rot despite low tread depth. The 2024 failure flagged thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and a low brake hydraulic reservoir, alongside a leaking clutch slave cylinder. These entries necessitate a physical check for signs of fluid leaks and to verify the condition of the brake hardware, ensuring the low-mileage usage has not led to seized components or neglect of vital mechanical systems.
