2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · GU19 HCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 71,144 miles, this followed just one day after a significant failure involving multiple safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to recurring failures in 2025 and 2026 suggests that the current owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced to by the legal testing process. At 71,144 miles over seven years, the Peugeot averages approximately 10,163 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small SUV. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with 13,588 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,629 miles in the following year. This steady accumulation pattern combined with the sudden appearance of multiple tyre failures in early 2026 indicates that while the mileage is normal, the upkeep of consumable items has been neglected until critical stages. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the March 2026 failure flagged three separate tyres with cuts reaching the cords. This level of damage suggests poor attention to vehicle safety or road conditions. The recurring failure of the offside headlamp beam in both 2025 and 2026 indicates a persistent electrical issue or a failing housing that has not been properly rectified. Additionally, the seat belt webbing failure noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure the component was replaced rather than merely repaired, as structural damage in safety webbing can cause immediate failure during an impact.
