2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · CE64 FUT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected consumables after several clean inspections. The most recent test in November 2025 at 27,046 miles passed, but introduced advisories for both rear tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically functional enough to pass, the owner is now addressing routine maintenance items that were overlooked in previous years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,254 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,565 miles, suggesting a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally preserves the engine and drivetrain, this lack of use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, as evidenced by the condition of the braking hardware noted in later tests. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system, as the record shows recurring pitting and scoring on discs in 2022 at 26,062 miles and again in 2024 at 26,633 miles. This corrosion is typical of vehicles that sit for long periods, allowing surface rust to de-plate metal surfaces between uses. The uneven wear noted on the rear tyres in the 2025 test also suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require investigation to prevent further premature tyre failure. Given the low mileage, a physical check for perished hoses and fluid degradation is essential to ensure the car has not suffered from standing stationary.
