2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · YB14 AAO

The Peugeot 2008’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25—just five months ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across the last five tests, spanning from 90,506 miles in March 2023 to 122,315 miles now, suggests a stable maintenance pattern. The single failure at 122,314 miles on the same day as the pass (likely a duplicate or administrative anomaly) does not indicate mechanical issues, as no faults were logged. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or worsening conditions in the official record, though the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear. The mileage progression of roughly 10,193 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, indicating steady ownership rather than prolonged neglect or rapid turnover. The most recent test at 122,315 miles, however, reveals a slight acceleration in mileage accumulation—approximately 14,395 miles since the 2025 test—though this remains within reasonable bounds for a well-used car. The lack of advisories or partial failures also implies that basic maintenance, such as fluid changes and brake inspections, has likely been addressed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are not always flagged in MOTs but can compromise handling. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has covered the additional 14,395 miles since the last test; binding or uneven wear could indicate neglected servicing. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this is a common issue for vehicles of this age and mileage. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are often overlooked until they become MOT failures.
