2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · GF14 AEU

The Peugeot 2008 most recently passed its MOT on 4 July 2025 at 83,756 miles with no defects recorded, establishing current roadworthy status. Maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available data, with the July 2023 test at 74,290 miles, July 2024 at 78,900 miles, and July 2025 at 83,756 miles all showing clean sheets. A peculiarity exists: on both 6 July 2024 and 4 July 2025 the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileages, each with no defects logged. This pattern suggests administrative re-test cycles rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 74,290 miles in the 11 July 2023 test to 78,900 miles by 6 July 2024, a gain of 4,610 miles over eleven months. By 4 July 2025 it reached 83,756 miles, adding 4,856 miles across the year. Such annual distances of roughly 4,700 to 4,900 miles sit below the 6,980 miles per annum average yet indicate consistent, light-to-moderate private use with no prolonged standing or sudden accumulation. The record remains sparse and free of advisories throughout. Despite the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should physically inspect key mechanical and structural elements that the MOT history does not detail. At over a decade old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for wear or corrosion, particularly given the Peugeot's known susceptibility to rear axle rust. The tester logged no advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity, but visual examination of sills, subframes, and brake calipers remains prudent. The same-day fail-and-pass entries merit verification via DVSA portal to confirm no omitted defect categories. Prior owners appear to have maintained basic compliance, as evidenced by annual tests and zero defect outcomes. The repeated immediate re-tests imply they corrected any minor non-mechanical compliance swiftly rather than neglecting upkeep. Prospective purchase should still involve an independent inspection to validate the clean electronic record against physical condition.
