2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · DA65 HDX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 at 49,228 miles recorded a PASS, though an earlier entry on the same date incorrectly notes a FAIL with no defects. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the PASS outcome suggests no critical issues at that mileage. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with no defects recorded in four consecutive tests from 2023 to 2026. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the data, indicating consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. The mileage of 49,228 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 4,475 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. Notable gaps in testing, such as the 13-month interval between the 2023-01-24 test (33,250 miles) and the 2024-01-22 test (36,446 miles), suggest periods of reduced usage or potential storage. Low mileage can mask wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs, which may degrade without regular operation. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is positive but does not eliminate the need for physical inspection of aged rubber and metal components. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can lead to uneven wear. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven corrosion, which may go undetected in static tests. Structural integrity remains unchallenged in the record, but the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough examination of underbody rust, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches. No advisories on tyres or fluids are noted, but the low usage pattern warrants verification of fluid freshness and tyre condition upon inspection.
