2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · YN16 VZH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 74,236 miles passed, it noted a worn front suspension arm pin or bush. This specific issue has appeared in every inspection since March 2024 at 72,021 miles, suggesting that the owner is allowing components to wear until they reach advisory or failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 72,021 miles and the March 2025 test at 73,735 miles, the car covered only 1,714 miles, indicating a period of very low activity. This low annual mileage often correlates with the mechanical issues observed, such as the offside rear brake suffering from binding, which can occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the repeated failures of the arm bushes indicate significant degradation of the rubber components. The record also shows a history of brake-related faults, including a binding rear caliper in early 2025 and worn front discs in March 2025. The buyer should verify that the ABS warning lamp has been properly cleared and that the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as these were primary causes for the test failure in March 2025.
