2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LS68 VXO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 47,691 miles passed without defects, the initial failure for a high headlamp aim and a non-functional seat belt buckle indicates that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure. The overall trend appears stable in terms of mechanical survival, but the history suggests minor components are overlooked between intervals. At eight years old, the recorded 47,691 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubberized components. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 6,588 miles, yet this period saw multiple advis regarding perishing and cracking tyres, suggesting that the rubber is drying out due to age and stationary periods despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components due to recurring issues. The September 2024 test at 38,319 miles flagged binding rear brakes and a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot, following a report of pitted offside rear brake discs the previous year. These entries indicate a tendency for caliper seizing and disc corrosion, which is common in low-mileage vehicles. Check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking, as the record consistently flags perishing across multiple test dates.
