2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · DC19 PXP

A consistent record of clean passes across all five MOT tests from June 2022 through to the most recent examination on 8 June 2026 establishes this 2019 Peugeot 2008 as a vehicle with a stable roadworthiness profile and no recorded failures. The only items flagged anywhere in the test history are the two advisories raised on the 2025 test, both concerning front tyre wear, and a separate advisory noting that engine bay covers and undertrays were fitted at the time of test. With the 2026 pass recording no defects, the overall trajectory is one of steady compliance rather than deteriorating condition, suggesting no chronic structural, braking, or suspension issues have emerged during the seven-year period on the road. With just 26,892 miles recorded against an age of seven years, annual mileage averages around 3,842 miles per year, which is markedly below the typical usage pattern for a small crossover of this type. The annual test dates are spaced at almost exactly twelve-month intervals, indicating continuous road use rather than any significant off-road storage, and there is no evidence of an SORN period or untested lay-up gap. The implication mechanically is that consumable wear on braking components, clutches, and drivetrain items will be considerably lower than expected, but at the same time the relatively short journeys implied by such low annual mileage can leave rubber and polymer items susceptible to drying, flat-spotting, and perishing. The undertray and engine cover advisory on the 2025 test is worth retaining as context, as it simply means certain underbody and engine bay components could not be fully visually inspected on that occasion, which is not unusual for this model. For a prospective buyer, the front tyres should be the first item physically inspected, as both nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge during the 2025 test, suggesting they may have been replaced shortly after. Edge wear specifically points towards possible wheel alignment geometry, so check that the tyres now fitted are wearing evenly across the full tread width rather than just on one shoulder. On a test drive, listen for any pulling to one side under braking or on a straight motorway stretch, and feel for vibration through the steering wheel, as these can indicate tracking irregularities inherited from the previous edge wear pattern. Given that no suspension, brake, corrosion, exhaust, or steering components have ever been flagged across five tests, the general mechanical condition appears sound, but a thorough buyer inspection should still focus on the items most likely to deteriorate with age rather than mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs by pushing down firmly on each corner and releasing, watching for any excess bouncing or clonking noises, and listen for knocking over uneven road surfaces which can indicate worn anti-roll bar drop links or strut top mount wear. Inspect the brake discs for any obvious lipping at the outer edge and confirm the calipers are not binding by ensuring the vehicle rolls freely in neutral. Finally, because the undertrays and engine bay covers obscured full inspection on the last but one test, it is sensible to lift any removable covers and visually check for any oil misting around the top of the engine, signs of coolant staining, or corrosion around the suspension subframe mounting points before committing to purchase.
