2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · CC54 SUE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 8 May 2026 at 59,548 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent history shows a recurring issue with lighting. The tester flagged a failed nearside dipped beam headlamp in both the May 2025 test at 56,511 miles and again in the May 2026 test at 59,548 miles. While the vehicle passed both times after the bulb or component was addressed, the repetition suggests a potential intermittent electrical fault or a habit of only rectifying minor defects at the point of testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 59,548 miles, averaging roughly 7,444 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 38,162 miles in May 2021 to 59,548 miles in May 2026, indicating regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. This predictable mileage pattern reduces the likelihood of age-related degradation caused by standing still, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus on the engine bay and underbody to investigate the oil leak reported in the April 2022 test and the May 2021 test. Although the tester noted these leaks were not excessive at the time, the recurrence of this advisory suggests a persistent seepage that warrants a physical inspection of gaskets and seals. Additionally, the May 2024 advisory regarding a nail in the offside front tyre and the May 2021 advisory for pitted or scored rear brake discs indicate that consumable components are being monitored, but the buyer should check the current condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. The electrical system warrants a thorough check, specifically regarding the nearside headlamp circuit. Since the same headlamp failure appeared in two consecutive years, a simple bulb replacement may not have addressed a deeper wiring or grounding issue. Beyond these specific points, the lack of structural corrosion or suspension component advisories in the record is a positive indicator for the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity.
