2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LG63 UDM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical attention to detail. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 82,714 miles, it failed just one week prior due to high carbon monoxide and lambda sensor readings. The subsequent pass left several significant mechanical advisories, including a severely deteriorated CV boot, a wheel bearing with play, and an exhaust leak. This suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when they cause an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2023 at 62,004 miles and May 2024 at 64,421 miles, where the car covered only 2,400 miles in over sixteen months. However, usage has increased recently, with 8,000 miles covered between May 2025 and 2026, which likely correlates with the accelerated wear on rubber components and braking hardware seen in the latest test results. A buyer must inspect the nearside front drive shaft area immediately, as the severely deteriorated CV boot will lead to imminent joint failure and expensive drivetrain damage if not replaced. The offside rear wheel bearing shows play and requires replacement to prevent future noise or mechanical seizure. Furthermore, the recurring exhaust leaks noted since 2023 and persisting into 2026 indicate that the exhaust system or its clamps are failing. The buyer should also check the rear brake discs for further pitting and corrosion, as the 2025 test already flagged them as worn and scored.
