2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · AJ18 EPL

The Peugeot 2008 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 July 2025 at 44,414 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVLA MOT data shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. A failed test on the same date as the pass, and an identical fail-pass pattern in July 2024, suggests administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than any vehicle defect, since no faults were recorded on either failure. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 35,194 miles in July 2023, rising to 41,690 at the July 2024 failure and 41,694 at the pass one day later, then 44,414 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles annually, well below the national average. The near-identical mileages on consecutive failure and pass dates confirm the car was not driven between those tests. Given the clean MOT history with zero advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, no recurring mechanical trends require flagging from the record. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries without recorded defects imply the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied testers, though the reason for those failures remains undocumented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria, notably tyre sidewall condition, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes. Low annual mileage combined with the 2024 and 2025 same-day failure anomalies warrants confirmation that the vehicle was not left standing for extended periods, which can degrade seals, brake calipers, and fluid condition despite a clean test sheet.
