2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LP17 TFV

The most recent MOT history for this 2017 Peugeot 2008 reveals a stable but narrowly avoided failure trend, with the vehicle just passing on its third attempt in November 2025. The absence of recorded defects across all tests suggests no persistent mechanical issues were detected by the tester, though the single failure at 79,008 miles—only two days before passing—indicates a close call. Given the lack of advisories or recurring faults, there is no evidence of worsening structural or drivetrain concerns. However, the repeated testing at the same mileage implies either a minor oversight in pre-MOT preparation or a brief period of uncertainty in the vehicle’s condition. Mileage progression shows a steady but moderate usage pattern, averaging around 8,800 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests spans 12 months between March 2024 (66,715 miles) and March 2023 (53,817 miles), suggesting the car was likely in regular service without prolonged neglect. The final 11,000 miles between March and November 2025 were covered in under eight months, which could indicate either increased usage or a delayed MOT renewal. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest excessive wear or prolonged inactivity. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that aren’t routinely checked during an MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade gradually without immediate failure indicators. The brakes, while not flagged, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs and pads—especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. Additionally, check for signs of structural corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as this is a common failure point in Peugeot models of this era. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are pristine, so visual and functional checks are essential.
