2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · CA14 VDL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in October 2025 at 88,034 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the recurring defects identified in previous years have have been addressed. While the history indicates a reactive maintenance style, the absence of advisories in the latest report suggests the current owner is responding to faults once they are flagged by testers. At 88,034 miles over 12 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 6,500 to 8,500 miles between tests from 2022 through 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the October 2024 test flagged worn Macpherson strut pins or bushes on both sides. Although this was cleared, these components are prone to wear and can lead to uneven tyre degradation if not monitored. The buyer should also verify the current condition of the tyres, as the record shows a history of reaching the legal limit prematurely in both 2022 and 2023, indicating potential issues with alignment or delayed replacement cycles. The mechanical failure in October 2023 due to an inoperative engine Management Indicator light indicates a past electronic or sensor fault that requires double-checking to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the system. Given the previous wear on front brake discs noted in late 2022, a check of the current disc thickness and condition of the calipers is necessary to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
