2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · DS67 NWF

OVERALL VERDICT The vehicle recorded a pass in the most recent MOT test conducted on 2 December 2025 at 70,687 miles. While the current certificate is valid, the maintenance trend indicates recurring consumable wear rather than structural failure. Issues have persisted across two consecutive years regarding tyre condition and braking components. Although the car remains roadworthy, the pattern of repeated advisories suggests a need for immediate attention to safety critical items before further driving. MILEAGE AND WEAR PROFILE At eight years old with 70,687 miles recorded, the annual usage averages approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical market expectations for this class of vehicle. However, inspection records show a notable increase in distance covered between the December 2023 test at 39,440 miles and the December 2024 test at 58,825 miles. This surge correlates with the appearance of new advisories on brake pads and exhaust mountings. The consistent presence of tyre wear advisories from January 2023 through December 2025 highlights a cycle of delayed replacement for rubber components rather than mechanical degradation of the chassis or suspension geometry. CRITICAL IN PERSON CHECKS Immediate physical verification is required for the nearside and offside front tyres as they were noted as worn close to the legal limit in the December 2025 test. Verify tread depth visually and check for edge wear patterns indicative of alignment issues. Inspect the front and rear brake discs for pitting or scoring given the history of wear advisories in January 2023 and December 2024. Confirm the integrity of the front exhaust mounting system which was flagged as defective in December 2024 to ensure there are no excessive vibrations or rattles under load.
