2015 Peugeot 2008 1.4L Diesel · DF64 HSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred component replacement. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 106,372 miles passed, the tester identified multiple brake issues including thin front pads and pitted discs across all four corners. This follows a recurring trend of brake-related advisories and failures over the previous three years, suggesting the owner addresses mechanical faults only when they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 17,189 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and another 11,244-mile interval between early 2024 and 2025. This steady usage indicates regular road operation, which explains the typical wear on consumables like tyres and brakes. There is no evidence of long periods of standing despite the leak noted in the 2023 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the repeated reports of pitting and scoring on the discs since 2023 indicate either high-related corrosion or poor quality replacement parts. The 2023 failure regarding a nearside front suspension arm ball joint suggests that suspension components may be neglected, so the offside equivalent should be checked for play or perished rubber boots. Additionally, the previously noted oil leak from the sump area should be verified as dry to ensure it was rectified and has not evolved into a more significant engine failure.
