2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · CU65 RFK

The 2015 Peugeot 2008 demonstrates a stable and improving mechanical trend, passing its most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 40,738 miles with zero defects recorded. Following a failed test on 22 September 2023 at 24,947 miles, the subsequent two annual tests returned completely clean sheets, indicating the owner addressed whatever caused the initial failure and has maintained the vehicle adequately since. The recorded mileage reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns. Between 2022 and 2025, the annual mileage jumped significantly, covering 8,934 miles in the year leading to the 2023 test, 8,553 miles prior to the 2024 test, and 7,238 miles before the 2025 test. This contrasts sharply with the overall average of roughly 3,700 miles per year, strongly implying the vehicle spent its early years standing or seeing very little use before entering regular service recently. Prospective buyers should scrutinise the vehicle's structural integrity and perishable components, given its early life of dormancy. The 2023 failure presents an anomaly, as the record lists no defects for that specific test, suggesting either a data discrepancy or a rectified major fault not detailed in the summary. A physical inspection must focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which often corrode or degrade from prolonged standing rather than use. Tyre sidewall cracking and exhaust corrosion also warrant close examination, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from age-related deterioration rather than wear.
