2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MB12 ABB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until September 2026, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend. Following a failure in September 2023, the subsequent two annual tests resulted in clean passes, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed effectively. The most recent inspection in September 2025 flagged only minor wear on the exhaust flex joint, which is a common consumable concern for a vehicle of this age rather than a critical structural defect. With a total of 58,991 miles over twelve years, the car averages approximately 4,900 miles annually. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, showing steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of significant mileage spikes or gaps suggests the vehicle has been used for short, regular journeys. While low mileage often preserves engine components, it can sometimes lead to premature corrosion or seized mechanical parts if the car sits for extended durations. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and drivetrain boots. The 2023 MOT failure specifically identified a split constant velocity boot and binding rear brakes, so verify that these repairs were completed with quality parts rather than temporary fixes. Inspect the rear brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or surface rust, as the binding issue noted previously may have impacted their longevity. Finally, examine the exhaust flex joint mentioned in the 2025 test to ensure the slight wear has not progressed into a full failure or exhaust leak.
