2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · FT14 EWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 58,411 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a split offside front CV boot, worn front tyre, and thin brake pads. While the vehicle passed after these adjustments, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that the previous owner only addresses mechanical issues when they reach the point of failing an MOT test. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,411 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,868 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, yet the gaps between tests such as the 3,576 miles driven between February 2025 and 2026 suggest the car may have sat for extended periods. Such low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, which aligns with the noted failures of CV boots and exhaust mounts. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and drivetrain assembly specifically, as the offside front CV boot has failed in both 2024 and 2026. This indicates a potential issue with repeated failure or poor-quality replacement parts. The braking system also requires attention; the 2026 test flagged thin pads on both rear wheels, and the buyer should check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion caused by the low-frequency use. Additionally, the exhaust mounting, noted as defective in 2024, should be verified to ensure the system is now secure and not vibrating excessively.
