2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · 49 RDV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals recurring minor cosmetic and electrical defects. While the car failed the latest test initially due to an inoperative rear registration plate lamp and a damaged nearside front mirror, both issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation in the recorded DVSA data. At 12 years old with 66,477 miles, this Peugeot shows a significantly low mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,540 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with an interval of 8,099 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 8,330 miles in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This low mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components like seals and bushings becoming brittle due to age and potential periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside mirror assembly, as this has been flagged as damaged across two consecutive testing years in 2025 and 2026. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the calipers for seizing, which affects vehicles not used frequently. The record does not highlight any suspension or structural rust issues, but a manual check of the undercarriage for corrosion remains standard practice to ensure the low-mile history has not masked environmental damage.
