2015 Peugeot 2008 1.4L Diesel · KP15 ACU

The 2015 Peugeot 2008 passed its August 2025 MOT at 55,020 miles, yet the test recorded a worn, pitted rear brake disc and a split near‑side front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy only with immediate remedial work. The maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring brake wear and suspension component failures rather than steady improvement. From the March 2018 test at 23,212 miles to the August 2025 test at 55,020 miles the odometer has risen by roughly 31,800 miles, averaging just over 5,000 miles per year, which is modest for a 2015 model but reflects relatively light use. The interval between the August 2024 test at 49,744 miles and the August 2025 test shows a 5,276‑mile increase in a single year, suggesting a period of more intensive use or a gap in testing that may have allowed wear to accumulate. A buyer should first examine the rear brake discs and pads for thickness and scoring, as the repeated 1.1.14 (a) (ii) defects indicate ongoing corrosion or heat‑related wear. The split CV joint boot and dust‑cover failure on the front anti‑roll bar linkage (6.1.7 (g) (ii) and 5.3.4 (b) (ii)) point to compromised suspension components; play in the ball joints, condition of the bushes and integrity of the boots must be verified. Tyre wear approaching the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)) on both front tyres suggests alignment or suspension geometry problems, so tyre wear patterns and suspension bush condition should be inspected. Finally, the inoperative registration lamp (4.7.1 (b) (i)) and any evidence of structural rust noted in earlier passes merit a visual check of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody. Overall, while the vehicle cleared the most recent test, the cumulative record reveals a trend of neglect on critical safety items, and a thorough in‑person inspection focusing on brakes, suspension and structural integrity is essential before purchase.
