2015 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SE15 AEZ

The 2015 Peugeot 2008 presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-20 at 47,867 miles recording a pass despite an identical date showing a failure. No defects were noted in either case, raising questions about the accuracy of the records. The prior 2024-06-25 test at 44,055 miles also passed without issues, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in the last 12 months. However, the 2023-05-31 test at 40,947 miles similarly passed, indicating no immediate mechanical concerns in the preceding three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,867 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 4,352 miles annually, below the UK average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can lead to fluid degradation, battery issues, or component stiffness. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, but the repeated failures without recorded defects imply potential administrative errors or unaddressed minor faults. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension issues in the records is reassuring, though not definitive. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and shock absorbers, as low mileage can mask wear in these components. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust. Electrical systems, including the battery and lighting, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s minimal usage. While the MOT data shows no critical failures, the inconsistency in test outcomes necessitates a professional assessment to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
