2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · GX17 TZR

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding aged rubber components and braking hardware. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 43,973 miles passed, it introduced new advisories previously absent, including a worn offside front suspension arm bush and a de-bonding rear bush. This indicates that while the car is legally roadworthy, mechanical components are degrading and the previous owner may be neglecting proactive replacement of wear-related suspension parts. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,886 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between the 2022 test at 22,747 miles and the 2023 test at 29,229 miles, suggesting the car may have sat stationary for extended periods. This low annual usage explains the recurring issues with perishing and cracking tyres, where rubber compounds fail due to age and oxidation rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the de-bonding rear bush is a progressive fault that will worsen if not addressed. The braking system also shows a clear progression from the 2023 advisory of worn discs to the 2025 report of both front and rear discs being pitted and scored. This surface corrosion is typical of low-mileage vehicles that are not used frequently enough to clear the rotors. All four tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the record consistently flags perishing across the last three years.
