2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KT19 OUS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 40,845 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple lighting issues and significant tyre deterioration. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of inoperative registration lamps, a dipped beam, and three failing tyres suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they triggered a formal MOT failure. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 40,845 miles represents a low annual usage average of approximately 5,835 miles. This low mileage is consistent across the records, with only 5,885 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,944 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. However, the low mileage may have contributed to age-related degradation, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the rear tyres noted in the 2026 test. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and alignment due to recurring issues with uneven tyre wear. The 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, while the 2026 report highlighted a nearside front tyre worn completely on the outer edge. This pattern often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Additionally, the reported offside rear service brake binding in 2024 warrants a check to ensure the caliper is not seizing due to long periods of inactivity.
