2008 Peugeot 4007 GT 2.2L Diesel · EY08 TUH

The 2008 Peugeot 4007 GT currently presents a stable mechanical condition, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 17 December 2025 at 168,906 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears consistent rather than deteriorating, as the vehicle has passed its last two tests without advisories or failures. A clean pass indicates the primary safety systems, including brakes, lights, and structural integrity, met the required standard at the time of inspection. The lack of recurring defects suggests the previous owner addressed immediate failures promptly rather than allowing faults to persist across multiple test cycles. At eighteen years old with 168,906 miles on the clock, the vehicle averages roughly 9,384 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical domestic use. Examining the chronological data reveals a noticeable deceleration in recent mileage accumulation. Between the June 2023 test at 158,365 miles and the October 2024 test at 164,664 miles, the car covered just over 6,000 miles in sixteen months. This dropped further to approximately 4,200 miles over the subsequent fourteen months leading to the December 2025 pass. Such a pattern implies the vehicle has transitioned from regular commuting to lighter, local use, which can reduce wear on consumables but raises the risk of deterioration from prolonged standing. Despite the clean MOT record, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee immunity from age-related deterioration. A buyer should physically inspect the undercarriage for structural corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points and subframes, as an eighteen-year-old SUV of this vintage is highly susceptible to rust. The braking system requires close scrutiny; even though the tester flagged no binding calipers or worn discs in December, vehicles covering low annual mileages often suffer from seized handbrake mechanisms and uneven disc corrosion due to lack of use. Suspension components, including coil springs and trailing arm bushes, should be checked for cracking and perishing, as rubber degrades with time regardless of mileage. Tyre age is another critical factor, given the reduced recent usage. A buyer must verify the date codes on all four tyres and the spare, replacing any rubber exceeding six years old regardless of remaining tread depth. The exhaust system requires inspection for corrosion, and the condition of the auxiliary drive belts must be verified, as these perish over time and can strand the vehicle without warning.
