2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · LS68 VXX

The vehicle presents a consistent MOT history over its eight years, though the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. In the September 2025 test at 31,951 miles, the tester did the vehicle fail initially due to two minor defects: an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp and an offside front tyre worn to 2.5mm with uneven wear. The uneven wear on the tyre edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that require immediate attention. Despite these points, the vehicle passed all previous tests from 2021 through 2024 with no recorded defects, suggesting the core mechanical integrity remained stable during that period. The recorded mileage of 31,951 miles is significantly low for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low-usage profile typically implies less wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain components. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and perished fluid hoses. The gap between the 2024 test at 9,663 miles and the 2025 test at 31,951 miles shows a sudden increase in usage over a single year, which may explain the rapid wear on the offside front tyre noted in the latest report. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment to account for the uneven tyre wear flagged in 2025. While the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failures in previous years, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting is advisable given the low mileage and potential for inactivity. The overall record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but the recent advisories highlight that the current owner may have neglected routine maintenance items like bulbs and tyre replacement.
