2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · GU65 GGY

The 2015 Peugeot 2008 presents a mixed maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT activity in November 2025. The vehicle failed on the same day at 118,852 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring and a defective offside rear exhaust mounting. A retest later that day passed, but only after the coil spring was replaced, a critical structural repair that raises questions about how long the fracture had been developing. The trend is not clearly improving. While the 2023 and 2022 tests were clean, the 2024 test flagged both rear tyres worn to the legal limit and a broken exhaust bracket, and the 2025 failure involved a major suspension component. The record suggests reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with defects addressed only at the point of MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,805 miles per year. The progression from 76,905 miles in December 2022 to 91,362 miles in November 2023 represents approximately 14,457 miles in under twelve months, a slightly elevated annual rate. The jump from 91,362 miles in November 2023 to 105,416 miles in December 2024 accounts for around 14,054 miles in just over a year, confirming sustained higher-than-average use. The final interval from 105,416 miles in December 2024 to 118,852 miles in November 2025 covers 13,436 miles in eleven months, maintaining that elevated pace. No significant gaps or suspicious drops appear in the odometer record, and the mileage progression is consistent with genuine use rather than clocking. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension, particularly the nearside coil spring, which has not yet shown a fracture but may be fatigued given its offside counterpart failed. Check both front springs for corrosion, cracking, and sag, and inspect the top and lower mounts for wear. The rear exhaust mounting and silencer bracket have appeared as advisories and failures across multiple tests, so examine the full exhaust system for corrosion at mounting points, cracked rubber hangers, and signs of exhaust gas leakage around joints. The rear tyres were flagged as worn to the legal limit at the 2024 test, indicating the rear axle may be prone to uneven or rapid tyre wear, possibly due to misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Inspect the rear suspension arms, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links for play. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the floor pan, is advisable before purchase.
