2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LL67 OLM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 August 2026, though it carries an advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit on the edge. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with a period of multiple advisories between 2022 and 2023 that seems to have been largely addressed by 2025. The single failure in 2024 regarding a split constant velocity boot is a typical wear and tear item for a vehicle of this age and does not indicate a systemic mechanical failure, provided the repair was carried out to a professional standard. With a recorded mileage of 49,168 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,463 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, which generally reduces the wear on the internal combustion engine and drivetrain components. However, low annual usage often introduces specific risks associated with vehicle stasis, such as the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion on braking surfaces due to infrequent use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles, which is a common symptom of low mileage vehicles where moisture causes surface oxidation that is not regularly scrubbed off during regular use. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for brake shudder. Furthermore, the history of perishing rear tyres and current edge wear on the front tyres suggests a need to inspect all sidewalls for age related cracking and to verify the wheel alignment to prevent premature tyre failure. Beyond the MOT records, the low usage profile necessitates a thorough check of time based consumables. You should verify the service history to ensure that engine oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer calendar intervals rather than just mileage, as fluids degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the 12V battery for signs of age or failure, as infrequent short trips can lead to chronic undercharging. Finally, check the exhaust system for stability following the previous advisory regarding a broken mounting bracket and ensure there are no fresh grease leaks around the offside front drive shaft, which would indicate a failing replacement CV boot.
