PEUGEOT 20082018 · 1.2L Petrol

This 2018 Peugeot 2008 has a clean pass history, but the most recent MOT in April 2026 introduces notable advisory items. The car was driven just over 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for age and suggests routine, average use rather than extremes of standing or hard driving. The recurring pattern here is tyre wear, especially on the rear axle. In 2022 the rear tyres were feathering, and by 2024 the nearside rear had tread cracking and peeling. The latest test shows both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, confirming this is a consistent issue rather than a one-off. A new item is the front exhaust mounting partially broken. The trend appears to be worsening: after two clean MOTs in 2023 and 2025, the 2026 test shows a clear increase in tyre and exhaust-related advisories. The mileage is credible and unremarkable, but the repeated rear tyre wear pattern suggests an underlying geometry or suspension fault, such as misalignment or worn bushes, that has not been corrected. The exhaust mounting may have degraded over time due to corrosion or vibration, and should be checked soon to avoid a full exhaust failure. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres for uneven wear and remaining tread depth, and look for evidence of a recent four-wheel alignment check.
