2017 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · ML67 MLV

The most recent MOT test in November 2025 resulted in a pass, though this was only achieved after an initial failure. An analysis of the vehicle history suggests a reactive maintenance trend rather than a proactive one. The car has suffered repeated failures related to constant velocity boots and tyre tread depths over the last two years, indicating that critical wear items are often left until they become legal failures during the annual inspection. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the pattern of failures suggests the previous owner may have neglected routine preventative checks. The recorded mileage of 63,216 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 7,024 miles. This is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced use profile without the extreme risks associated with very high mileage wear or the degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, the drivetrain and interior should show moderate wear consistent with this distance, provided the service intervals have been adhered to. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front drive shafts. The history shows multiple failures of the constant velocity boots on both the nearside and offside. During the test drive, perform tight low speed turns in both directions and listen for any rhythmic clicking or popping sounds, which would indicate that the joints have been contaminated by road grit and are now failing internally. Additionally, there is a recurring history of uneven wear on the offside rear tyre. This warrants a physical inspection of the tyre tread and a check of the rear suspension bushes for perished rubber, as misalignment or worn bushings can cause premature tyre scrubbing. The most recent advisory regarding an oil leak requires a thorough physical inspection. Check the engine bay and the underside of the sump for fresh oil seepage or staining, as a leak that is not yet excessive can still indicate failing gaskets or seals that may become costly to rectify. You should also verify that the previously noted defective central exhaust mounting has been replaced, as a loose exhaust can lead to increased vibration and further structural damage to the mounting points. Finally, ensure the service book is stamped to confirm that calendar based fluid changes have been performed, as the presence of an oil leak makes strict adherence to oil change intervals essential for engine longevity.
