2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LC66 NVY

A persistent pattern of unresolved brake and tyre advisories defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record. The same warnings regarding worn front and rear brake discs, as well as a perishing nearside rear tyre, have appeared consecutively across five years of testing. While the most recent test on 18 June 2026 resulted in a pass, it introduced a new concern regarding corrosion on the metal end pipes of the rear brake hoses, suggesting a worsening trend in the condition of the braking system's hardware. With only 31,406 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 3,490 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is consistent with the specific defects noted in the MOT history, as the pitting and scoring of brake discs and the perishing of tyre sidewalls are typical symptoms of a vehicle that spends significant periods stationary. The lack of regular operational wear has allowed surface corrosion to establish itself on the braking components rather than being worn away through normal use. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically the condition of the discs and the integrity of the rear brake hoses. Given the recurring advisories for pitting and scoring, a test drive should be used to feel for any pedal judder or vibrations during deceleration, which would indicate warped or heavily corroded discs. The newly flagged corrosion on the metal end pipes at the calipers requires close visual inspection to ensure there are no leaks or structural compromises that could lead to failure. The tyre condition also warrants immediate attention, as the nearside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking and perishing since at least 2022. Check all tyres for similar sidewall degradation and ensure there is no uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues. Additionally, verify the operation of the offside front mirror and side repeater, as these were noted as damaged or defective in earlier tests, to ensure all exterior safety equipment is fully functional.
