2018 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · YY68 AEB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 June 2026 at 56 979 miles, recording only two advisories: slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a)(i)) and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp (4.7.1 (b)(i)). The overall roadworthiness is acceptable, yet the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring wear rather than new failures. Earlier failures in 2023‑2024 were addressed, and the latest test reflects a stable condition with minor consumable issues. Mileage accumulation is roughly 7 100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The longest gap between inspections spans the full 12 months from June 2025 to June 2026, during which mileage rose 5 746 miles—slightly below the average annual rate. The record is sparse beyond the most recent year, but the progression remains steady without abrupt jumps. Recurring faults indicate wear on several systems. Suspension arm ball joint play appears in both the 2023 and 2026 tests. Both offside and nearside drive‑shaft CV boots were split in 2023 and 2024, suggesting repeated damage to constant‑velocity joints. An oil leak was noted in 2025, while brake disc wear and thin pads were recorded in 2022. Tyre damage and edge wear were reported in 2021‑2022, and the exhaust mounting was defective in 2021. The headlamp failure resolved without recurrence. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension arm for excessive play, examine both CV boots for tears or dirt ingress, check for oil seepage at the engine, assess brake disc thickness and pad condition, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition on both rear tyres, and confirm the exhaust mounting integrity and rear registration plate lamp operation. Any significant deterioration in these areas would require immediate attention before purchase.
