2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · KT14 OFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 146,882 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure due to critical safety issues including an illegal nearside tyre and a failed stop lamp. The trend shows mechanical wear components being flagged repeatedly across multiple years, suggesting the owner only addresses faults when forced by the testing process rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 146,882 miles, this 2014 Peugeot 2008 has averaged approximately 12,240 miles per year. This high annual mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspensioning components. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles, indicating consistent and heavy road use. The recurring appearance of faults like the drive shaft CV boot and shock absorbers indicates that the vehicle's rubber and damping components are reaching the end of their functional life. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front end geometry. The record shows recurring issues with the offside suspension arm ball joint and offside track rod end, which were flagged for play in September 2025. These components affect steering precision and can cause uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The rear brake discs were also noted as pitted and scored in the latest test; a buyer should check for thin material or overheating to ensure the braking system is not nearing the limit of its safety. The buyer should also inspect the offside drive shaft boot for grease leaks, as this was previously severely deteriorated in 2024. Given the history of reduced damping in the shock absorbers from 2023, a thorough test drive is necessary to check for body roll or instability under braking. The high mileage combined with repeated failures of lighting and minor parts suggests that the vehicle will likely require further mechanical investment in the near future to maintain its roadworthiness.
