2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · DX15 OPH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred repairs on wear components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 53,562 miles identified multiple advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, perished tyres, and the exhaust mounting. While the car passed, the accumulation of these defects across the last three years suggests that the previous owner is only addressing issues once they reach the threshold of a failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 53,562 miles over 11 years, the Peugeot has covered an average of approximately 4,870 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the 2025 report flagging cracked tyres and a defective exhaust mounting. The gap between July 2022 and July 2023 shows only 1,200 miles were driven, indicating the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can contribute to the observed pitting on brake discs and premature rubber failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The tester flagged worn front suspension arm bushes in 2023 at 45,983 miles, and although these were not mentioned again, they should be checked for play or uneven wear. The offside front CV boot failed in July 2024 at 49,706 miles; ensure this was replaced and is not currently leaking grease, which would indicate an imminent joint failure. The pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs noted in 2025 indicate the vehicle has sat stationary long enough for surface corrosion to set in, or it suffers from infrequent brake use. Given the reported perishing of the offside front and both rear tyres, the full set of tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking, as low mileage often masks aged rubber regardless of remaining tread depth.
