2014 Peugeot 2008 1.4L Diesel · AF14 MJE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of deferred suspension repairs and consumable neglect. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 117,352 miles passed, it carried advisories for a worn offside rear tyre and play in the offside front track rod end. This indicates a pattern where the previous owner allows components to reach the point of failure or significant wear-limit before addressing them, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year over the twelve-year period. There is a clear gap of roughly 8,300 miles between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests, followed by another 4,400 miles leading to the May 2025 inspection. This steady usage suggests typical suburban commuting patterns, though the high mileage of 117,000 miles marks the vehicle as prone to accelerated wear on rubber-based bushings and steering components. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the record has flagged multiple issues including the suspension arm ball joints, track rod ends, and steering rack inner joints across the last three years. The recurring nature of play in these components suggests the steering assembly may be nearing the end of its service. Additionally, the frequent mentions of uneven tyre wear and perishing sidewalls point to potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that will continue to degrade the life of new tyres if not rectified.
