2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KP64 HDV

This Peugeot 2008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 59,649 miles resulting in a clean pass and no advisories. The vehicle has avoided any major defects or recurring issues since the September 2023 test, suggesting consistent compliance with basic MOT standards. However, the failure recorded on 25 September 2024—just one mile before the subsequent pass—appears anomalous, as no defects were logged, which may indicate a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical trend. The absence of advisories in the last two tests implies no hidden concerns were flagged by the tester, though this does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds. The recorded mileage of 59,649 miles over 12 years—approximately 4,971 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, typically suggesting either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (5,647 miles in a year) stands out as the most significant interval, while the 2024–2025 period saw a more moderate accumulation of 5,736 miles. Such low mileage could imply deferred maintenance, as owners may delay servicing when a vehicle isn’t driven frequently. The lack of pre-MOT service records means no insight into fluid changes, suspension servicing, or brake inspections, which are critical for vehicles of this age. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit fatigue despite passing MOT standards. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion is another concern—inspect wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas for rust penetration, as low mileage doesn’t guarantee absence of environmental damage. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter efficiency isn’t tested beyond basic functionality, and leaks or cracks could develop silently over time.
