2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LS68 VXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 24,265 miles, it failed a test just six days prior at 24,146 miles. This failure was due to multiple tyre defects and brake disc corrosion that were only rectified immediately before the pass. This suggests the owner only addressed faults once they threatened the MOT certificate rather than monitoring wear during regular service. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered only 3,508 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or minimal use. However, the 5,929 miles covered between 2024 and 2025 show an increase in usage. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing rear tyres noted in the 2025 advisories. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all tyres, as the record shows a history of nails, cuts, and age-related perishing. The rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in 2025, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary and allow rust to form on the metal surfaces. You should check for seized calipers or perished suspension bushes, as these components dry out and fail over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of structural defects in the history suggests a sound chassis, but the mechanical wear-related issues necessitates a thorough check of the braking system and rubber seals.
