2014 Peugeot 2008 1.4L Diesel · AF14 MJE

A pattern of escalating wear on steering and suspension components, coupled with current braking system degradation, defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle. While the car achieved a pass on 2026-06-22, the record shows a shift from clean tests in 2021 and 2022 to a consistent stream of advisories and minor failures since 2023, suggesting that several chassis and consumable components are reaching the end of their service life. With 135,854 recorded miles over twelve years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,321 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This level of consistent usage means that high-wear items such as suspension bushings, steering linkages, and drivetrain mounts are subject to standard age-related fatigue, which is reflected in the recurring advisories for ball joints and steering rack play noted in the records. Particular attention should be paid to the front-end geometry and steering assembly. The history records play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, the offside front track rod end, and the offside front steering rack inner joints. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and check for any vagueness or excessive play in the steering wheel. The braking system requires immediate scrutiny, as the latest test explicitly flagged worn, pitted, and scored rear brake discs along with thin rear brake pads. A test drive should include a check for pedal judder or an uneven braking feel, which would indicate the extent of the disc scoring. Additionally, the history of recurring tyre wear and sidewall cracking suggests a need to inspect all four tyres for uneven tread wear, which may be linked to the previously identified suspension and steering play.
