2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · WG14 AAK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related material degradation. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 36,174 miles passed but introduced multiple advisories for perishing and cracking on three tyres. This mirrors the findings from the July 2024 test, indicating that while the vehicle remains mechanically compliant, rubber components are failing from age rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Peugeot, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 8,761 miles, suggesting consistent short-distance use or periods of inactivity. The clean records from 2021 through 2023 indicate the vehicle did not suffer from significant mechanical stress or structural corrosion during that period. However, the low annual mileage often leads to secondary issues such as dry seals or brake caliper fluid degradation, which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the current tyre set, as the recurring advisories for cracking sidewalls suggest the rubber has reached its terminal age despite having sufficient tread depth. You should also examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the suspension bushes and split for cracking is essential, as these components can become brittle over time regardless of the distance driven.
