2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · EN15 XFK

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status characterized by a clear pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 83,952 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure at the same mileage due to multiple mechanical and electrical defects. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the recurring failure of lighting, tyre condition, and suspension components suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the MOT tester rather than maintaining the vehicle at regular intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There is a gap of 9,179 miles between the August 2024 test at 74,773 miles and the August 2025 test at 83,952 miles. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the record indicates that the vehicle has suffered from neglect regarding consumables, particularly rubberwork and lighting components, despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 2025 test flagged a knocking noise and a suspect nearside front shock absorber. This issue combined with previously worn tyres indicates poor alignment or bushing failure. The braking system also shows a history of wear, with the 2024 record noting thin pads and worn, pitted discs across multiple axles, suggesting components may be nearing their service life. Additionally, the report of low coolant levels in 2025 indicates a potential leak in the cooling system that requires a pressure test to prevent engine overheating.
