FM15 AAY MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Peugeot 2008 (FM15 AAY) between July 2018 and July 2026.
The record contains 9 passes and 3 failures.
The most recent test on 02 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 39 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”.

Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the 1.2L petrol
Focus your attention on the braking system and chassis. The MOT history shows repeated issues with front and rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored across three consecutive years, suggesting they may have been neglected or suffered from low usage. You should verify whether these components were fully replaced or merely patched to pass the tests.
Check the service history thoroughly for evidence of regular oil changes and fluid flushes. The 'fluid leak' noted in the July 2026 MOT needs to be identified and resolved, as the record does not specify the source of the leak. Given the low mileage, ensure the vehicle has not suffered from 'sitting' issues, such as perished rubber components.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which typically translates to a lower insurance group and a manageable annual road tax band. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a compact crossover of this era.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the recurring issues with brakes and suspension seen in the records. Budget for potential chassis treatment to address the reported axle corrosion and the replacement of any remaining worn bushings.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear axle to determine the severity of the corrosion noted in the 2026 MOT. You should also check the front and rear brake discs for pitting and scoring, as these have been recurring advisories and failure points since 2024.
Examine the suspension arm bushes and the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, which were highlighted as failures in 2025. Finally, look for signs of active fluid leaks under the engine and gearbox to address the concern raised in the most recent test.
This white 2015 Peugeot 2008 has covered just 32,959 miles, which is significantly below the model average. However, its MOT history reveals a consistent trend of worn brake discs and suspension components from 2024 through to 2026. The most recent test in July 2026 specifically noted a fluid leak and rear axle corrosion.
The Peugeot 2008 has a moderate aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.4%, with common failures frequently linked to headlamps and drive shaft joints.

- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine (EB2/EB2DT/EB2DTS) uses a wet timing belt running submerged in engine oil. The belt degrades over time, shedding rubber particles that clog the oil-pump pickup strainer, causing low oil pressure, vacuum pump failure and loss of brake servo assistance. Fuel dilution from short UK urban journeys accelerates wear. Stellantis extended the warranty to 10 years/112,000 miles for affected engines built April 2014 to June 2022. A degraded belt can lead to terminal engine damage if not caught early.
- AdBlue tank failureSerious
On 1.6 BlueHDi diesel variants, the AdBlue (SCR) tank houses an integrated pump, filler-cap vent valve and dosing injector. Urea crystallisation, pump failure or a blocked vent can trigger an AdBlue or emissions warning and a countdown to engine no-start. The tank and pump are replaced as a sealed unit. Fault codes such as P20E8, P21C5 or P20EE may be stored. This is a high-risk issue on UK BlueHDi examples typically seen from around 60,000 miles.
- DPF Oil Contamination on Diesel ModelsModerate
First-generation diesel 2008s fitted with a DPF can suffer oil contamination if the DPF regeneration cycle is interrupted mid-way — for example by switching the engine off during a forced regen. Fuel leaks into the oil system, gradually raising the oil level and risking engine damage. This is especially relevant to UK cars used predominantly on short, low-speed urban trips where the DPF rarely reaches regeneration temperature. Regular motorway running and checking the oil level are essential preventative measures.
