2015 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KY15 AEA

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-25 confirms this Peugeot 2008 remains roadworthy at 102,058 miles, though the history reveals a pattern of repeated failures at the 91,576 and 98,230-mile marks. The vehicle passed both attempts at each of those intervals, suggesting either a temporary oversight in pre-test preparation or a recurring issue that was rectified just in time for inspection. The lack of defects on the last two successful tests indicates no major unresolved faults, but the repeated failures at similar mileages warrant scrutiny of components prone to wear or neglect—particularly brakes, suspension, or exhaust systems—where minor issues might escalate if not addressed promptly. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging roughly 9,278 miles annually, which aligns with typical wear patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, though the two failed tests at each interval (2023-12-12 and 2024-08-22) suggest the vehicle was driven to the test centre despite unresolved faults. This could imply either a lack of pre-inspection checks or a pattern of deferring maintenance until the last moment. The most recent test, just over a year ago, remains valid, but the repeated failures earlier indicate a need for closer inspection of components that might have been repaired hastily or inadequately. A buyer should prioritise an independent examination of the braking system, as the repeated failures at similar mileages may point to worn brake pads, binding calipers, or warped discs. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these components often fail intermittently and can lead to handling issues. Exhaust emissions and catalytic converter efficiency should also be verified, as these are common failure points in MOT tests. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should not be overlooked, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Documented repairs or service records would further clarify whether these issues were addressed properly.
