2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · ML68 WFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 25,697 miles, the car initially failed primarily due to a significantly worn offside rear brake disc and pads worn to the wear indicator. While these issues and a nail in the nearside front tyre were rectified, the recurring nature of brake failures suggests that components are only being replaced once they reach a point of failure during annual inspections. The Peugeot shows exceptionally low mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 3,212 miles per year. The data indicates consistent annual testing intervals, moving from 18,591 miles in October 2023 to 25,697 miles by October 2025. However, low annual mileage often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake components and tyre degradation. The failure in 2024 due to structural tears in the tyres and a missing fuel cap suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been subjected to negligent oversight between services. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the record shows persistent pitting and scoring on discs from 2023 through to 2025. The transition from minor pitting to a total failure of the pads in the latest test indicates the braking system is being neglected. Additionally, given the previous structural tyre failures recorded in 2024, the current rubber should be checked for sidewall cracking or flat spots, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that age faster than they wear.
