2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · CE68 AVK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test in June 2025 at 88,421 miles, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and front tyres reaching the legal limit on both sides. This follows an advisory from April 2024 regarding the offside front tyre being worn, indicating that consumable components are only being addressed once they approach failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK-average use, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a notable period of low activity recorded between September 2022 and March 2023, where the car covered only 705 miles in six months. However, the usage increased significantly to nearly 19,000 miles between March 2023 and June 2025, which correlates with the increased wear observed on the braking system and tyres recently. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the drivetrain components, specifically the nearside front drive shaft CV boot which previously showed severe deterioration in August 2022. The recurring issue of pitted and scored rear brake discs in 2022, followed by the thin pads noted in 2025, suggests the braking system may require a full overhaul to ensure even performance. Check the front suspension for uneven tyre wear, as the history shows a pattern of edge-wearing tyres which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
