2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · J19 NBR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake component degradation. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 47,583 miles, the tester flagged both front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows the April 2025 test at 43,771 miles where the front and rear discs were already noted for similar issues. While the vehicle continues to pass, the recurring nature of these brake faults suggests a pattern of neglected proactive component replacement between service intervals. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,287 miles per year. This suggests infrequent city road use, though there is a significant gap in usage between April 2023 at 20,466 miles and April 2024 at 31,335 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Conversely, usage has slowed again recently, with only 6,248 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low annual mileage often leads to perishing of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2024 advisory where both rear tyres showed signs of cracking and perishing. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system, as the persistent pitting and scoring on the discs across multiple tests indicate corrosion likely caused by periods of sitting. The oil leak noted in 2022 at 14,123 miles should also be visually verified to ensure it has not worsened over time. Additionally, the repeated failure of the offside registration plate lamp across three consecutive tests indicates a lapse in basic maintenance where minor electrical faults are only addressed when forced by an MOT failure.
