2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · BU65 TPX

The vehicle currently holds roadworthy status following a successful test on 15 October 2025 at 120,766 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the immediate history of failures in September and early October 2025 indicates a period of significant mechanical or compliance issues that required urgent rectification. The transition from two failures to a pass within a five-week window suggests the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs, but the trend shows the vehicle was in a state of reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression with 1,300 miles covered between June 2024 and September 2024, followed by over 8,000 miles leading up to the cluster of tests in late 2025. This recent spike in usage prior to the final failures likely explains the sudden appearance of faults, as components such as suspension bushings and braking hardware often reach the end of their service life interval around the 120,000-mile threshold. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lower suspension and braking system to ensure the recent failures were fully resolved rather than merely patched. Given the rapid testing sequence in 2025, check for signs of weeping shock absorbers, worn bushes, or binding brake calipers that may have triggered the initial failures. The vehicle's age and mileage also necessitate a check for corrosion on the sills and structural members, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the pass/fail status.
