2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · JG02 ANN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deteriorating suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 55,448 miles passed, it flagged both front lower suspension arm bushes and a worn rear brake disc. This follows a pattern established in April 2025 where both rear discs were noted for pitting and scoring, indicating that while components are not failing immediate inspection, they are suffering from age-related degradation and corrosion. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2024 at 46,423 miles and March 2026 at 55,448 miles, representing less than 9,000 miles driven over two years. This low mileage often correlates with the observed corrosion on metalwork surfaces like brake discs, as the vehicle is not used frequently enough to clear surface rust, leading to the persistent pitting and scoring noted throughout the record. A physical inspection must prioritize the state of the front suspension and the entire braking system. The recurring advisories regarding pitting and scoring on brake discs across all four corners suggest the discs are nearing the point they require replacement to ensure effective stopping. The buyer should check the front suspension arm bushes for further tearing or cracking, as the 2026 test confirmed they are already beginning to show wear. Additionally, the offside front CV boot, which was flagged in 2022, should be inspected for grease leaks or further tears that could lead to drive shaft failure if left unaddressed.
