2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · DS14 HBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive to proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 61,499 miles passed with only an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a significant failure in June 2024 where the tester flagged an inoperative engine malfunction indicator and a damaged windscreen. The history suggests that while the owner is addressing critical faults once they cause a failure, minor issues were previously being neglected. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 61,499 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,125 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage in recent years, with only 1,063 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This low-intensity usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, and brake caliper seizure if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system, as the June 2023 test at 54,179 miles revealed multiple defects including thin pads, pitted and scored discs, and fluctuating brakes. While these appear to have been addressed, the presence of fluctuating brakes suggests the rotors may have warped or the calipers may be sticking. The advisory for the worn offside rear tyre in 2025 also indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension wear that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
