2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · PJI 8494

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding consumable component replacement. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 44,730 miles, the tester identified multiple defects that were not present in previous years. The shift from a clean record in early 2022 to a series of advisories related to brakes and tyres suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 44,730 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,600 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a gap of 3,709 miles between the March 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the low mileage appears to have contributed to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the severe cracking and perishing tyres noted in both 2025 and 2026, which indicates the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a recurring issue of worn discs and thin pads, with the 2026 test flagging the front brakes as requiring attention. Furthermore, the persistent deterioration of the central rear registration plate across three consecutive tests indicates a lack of attention to minor defects. The perishing of the rear tyres is a significant concern for low-mileage vehicles; therefore, a sidewall check is vital to ensure the rubber compound is not structurally compromised despite sufficient tread depth.
