2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · FX64 MWF

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that suggests reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its last test in March 2023 at 120,919 miles, the recorded advisories for thin front brake pads, a minor exhaust leak, and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit indicate that essential consumables are only being addressed when they neared failure or reached inspection thresholds. Given that the last MOT was recorded over three years ago, the vehicle is significantly overdue for a test, which increases the likelihood that previously undetected mechanical degradation has occurred since the final inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with average annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation from 92,262 miles in March 2020 to 120,919 miles in March 2023. However, the gap between the March 2022 failure and the March 2022 pass shows only 300 miles of travel, yet the vehicle was hit with multiple failures including a lambda emissions issue and suspension arm wear. This lack of a clean record in the early 2020s suggests the vehicle has been subject to recurring wear issues despite the consistent mileage intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system, as the nearside lower suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2022. The braking system shows a history of pitted rear discs and thinning front pads, necessitating a check for potentially seized calipers or uneven pad wear. The previous failure regarding the lambda sensor reading in 2022 and the subsequent minor exhaust leak in 2023 suggest the exhaust and catalytic converter system may be nearing expensive failure. Additionally, the CV boot on the nearside front drive shaft from 2021 should be inspected for tears or grease leakage to prevent imminent joint failure.
