2013 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Petrol · FJ05 ABY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on 17 September 2025 at 84,558 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections following minor re-test failures in previous years. While the failures in 2024 and 2025 did not record specific defects, the immediate corrections suggest the owner is proactive in addressing minor compliance issues to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 70,848 miles and the 2025 test at 84,558 miles, the car covered 13,710 miles, indicating a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluids which can perish due to time rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this Peugeot model of this era. Given the low mileage, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these can degrade over time even without heavy use. Examine the brake system for surface corrosion or pitted rotors, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust on the braking surfaces. Although the record shows no structural issues, a close look at the underside sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
