2013 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · KV63 WCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 20 August 2025 at 88,846 miles. However, the maintenance trend suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the recent test showed no defects, the preceding history reveals a pattern of faults that are only addressed immediately upon a failure. The transition from multiple failing points to a clean pass indicates that the owner is willing to rectify issues when necessary to maintain legal road status. At 88,846 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-duty usage for its age. The mileage data shows consistent use between tests, with 7,830 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 4,607 miles in the nine months leading up to the most recent test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components and seals to prevent premature degradation. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension components, specifically the offside anti-roll bar ball joints. The failure in November 2024 for a torn dust cover indicates a risk of dirt ingress which can lead to play and knocking noises if not monitored. The recurring issue with the offside rear tyre being worn to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a potential persistent alignment problem or a worn damper that has not been fully diagnosed. Physical inspection should also ensure the offside mirror is secure, as minor damage was previously noted in 2024. Given the history of tyre wear, a thorough check of the wheel geometry and suspension bushings is advisable to ensure that uneven wear does not occur again. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the frequency of minor mechanical failures highlights that the vehicle requires consistent attention to remain in its current condition.
