2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LR19 CFU

The most recent MOT, carried out on 25 March 2026, was a pass but it carried an advisory that the nearside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and shows edge wear. Over the past four years the vehicle has consistently passed its annual test, with the only failure being a dangerous defect in March 2023 when a fixing on the nearside front wheel was missing. Since that incident the record shows only advisories – mainly concerning tyre tread depth, brake‑pad wear and minor side‑wall damage – indicating that the overall maintenance trend is stable, though tyre wear is progressing and will soon require remedial action. At 61 023 miles the 2019 Peugeot 2008 averages roughly 8 700 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage does not suggest any periods of intensive short‑term use that would accelerate wear of major drivetrain components, but the relatively low annual mileage combined with the tyre advisories hints that the car may have spent extended periods stationary, a condition that can promote tyre perishing and uneven rubber hardening. Prospective buyers should give the tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection. The nearside front tyre is already at the legal minimum tread depth and shows edge wear, while the rear tyres have repeatedly been flagged for being close to the limit and for side‑wall cracking. Replace all four tyres promptly to avoid unsafe handling, and check for any cupping or uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or a failing rear axle. Verify that the wheel fixing on the nearside front wheel is secure and that all wheel nuts are correctly torqued; any looseness may manifest as a clunk or vibration when cornering. The brake system also warrants attention: the advisory on thin front pads and a front disc that is worn, though not yet excessive, means the pads should be measured and likely replaced soon, and the discs inspected for scoring or excessive rust that could cause brake shudder under hard braking. Given the vehicle’s seven‑year age, a comprehensive age‑related check is advisable. Test the 12 V battery for cranking voltage and examine the terminals for corrosion, as batteries of this vintage often need replacement. Confirm that oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed within the manufacturer’s service intervals; fluid degradation can lead to reduced lubrication and brake performance. Inspect the chassis, under‑body and exhaust for any signs of corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and the rear subframe, and look for any oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle. Finally, ensure that all external lighting – particularly the nearside registration plate lamp flagged in 2024 – operates correctly, and that the service book contains regular stamps, which together give confidence that the car has been maintained in line with its mileage and age.
