2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · KM15 NWS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 87,369 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed the test on that same day due to front brake pads reaching a critical thickness of 1.1mm. While the defect was rectified to secure a pass, the failure indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical components when prompted by a failure rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 61,007 miles and March 2026 at 87,369 miles, the car covered 26,362 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular usage, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals. The time intervals between tests remain standard, showing the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods that would lead to brake corrosion or sensor failure. A physical inspection should focus on the exhaust system and braking assembly. The 2023 test flagged a broken rear hanger and exhaust corrosion, suggesting that while the system was functional, the structural integrity of the piping is beginning to degrade. The buyer should check for further rust spread and ensure the hangers are secure. Given the recent failure for thin front brake pads, the condition of the brake discs should be examined for scoring or heat glazing, as the worn pads may have damaged the metal surfaces before replacement.
