2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · EF17 HCK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 107,750 miles secured a pass despite a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot, this specific fault is a recurring issue that dates back to 2023 and 2024. The trend suggests that the owner frequently delays replacing critical components until they reach a point of imminent failure or trigger an MOT advisory. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over the nine-year period. The data shows steady growth between annual tests, moving from 44,893 miles in late 2021 to 107,750 miles by late 2025. This regular usage indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of, which explains the consistent wear placed on consumable items like tyres and the braking system. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front drivetrain, specifically the offside front CV boot, which has been flagged for deterioration across three consecutive years. Failure to replace this after the 2025 advisory will likely lead to joint failure and expensive drive shaft replacement. Furthermore, the braking system shows a clear pattern of neglect, with the 2023 test flagging all four brake pads as wearing thin and the 2024 test noting the discs were lipped and scored. This suggests the vehicle has frequently operated with insufficient friction material, potentially damaging the rotors. The tyre history also indicates poor oversight, with multiple advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit or unevenly worn across almost every test. This points to potential alignment issues or simply a tendency to replace rubber only when necessary. The defective exhaust mounting noted in 2023 should also be verified to ensure it was replaced and is not currently causing vibration or noise. Given the recurring presence of child seats obstructing seat belt inspections, the buyer should ensure all adult seatbelts are functional and free of damage.
