2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KV19 KGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 63,006 miles passed, it flagged an advisory for an offside rear tyre showing wear and structural damage. This follows a trend where mechanical issues are only addressed after failing a test or reaching a critical limit. The overall condition appears stable in terms of safety, yet the owner consistently neglects consumable components until the MOT intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 48,803 miles and May 2025 at 56,353 miles, the car covered roughly 7,500 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump of 6,653 miles leading up to the latest May 2026 test indicates regular annual use, which explains the gradual wear patterns observed on friction components like brakes and tyres. A buyer should closely inspect the entire braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with discs and pads. The May 2025 failure due to thin nearside rear brake pads and pitted discs, combined with front brake disc wear noted in 2024, suggests the braking system may be nearing a comprehensive overhaul soon. The repeated mentions of cracking and perishing on the offside rear tyre since 2023 indicate that the rubber is aging and potentially losing structural integrity regardless of tread depth. Verify the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear, as previous advisories highlighted edge wear suggesting alignment issues.
