2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KJ68 TMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection history indicates a shift toward a reactive maintenance pattern. While it passed the January 2026 test at 30,549 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior at 30,547 miles due to a major exhaust gas leak, a defective mounting, and critically worn brake pads. The presence of these faults suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach failure thresholds rather than serviced proactively. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,364 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2023 and 2025, with an increase of roughly 5,400 miles in that period. However, there is a gap of 2,764 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry if not monitored. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system, as the recent failure for a major flexi-pipe leak and mounting defect indicates potential heat-related wear or corrosion. The braking system also requires close attention; the history shows brake pads were noted as thin in 2025 and were below the legal 1.5mm limit in early 2026, suggesting the front brakes may be nearing replacement. Additionally, the front registration plate and offside lamp should be checked for any further deterioration, having been flagged as defects in the most recent test.
