2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MM18 NVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive ownership pattern rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 90,054 miles passed with no defects, it followed a failure just day prior involving multiple failures. These failures included worn front brake discs, a failed offside headlamp, and an excessively worn nearside suspension arm ball joint. This trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, which can lead to secondary wear on components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage growing from 29,354 miles in June 2021 to 90,054 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage, though the mileage increased slightly faster between the 2025 and 2026 tests compared to earlier years. This consistent mileage indicates the car has been used regularly, which explains the progressive degradation of consumables like brakes and wiper blades seen throughout the testing history. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows recurring issues with pitted and scored discs, noted in 2023, 2024, and 2026, alongside thin rear pads in 2024. The failure of the front ball joint in April 2026 highlights a need to check all other front suspension bushings and link arms for play or rubber perish. Additionally, the previously broken and corroded exhaust mounts identified in 2024 indicate that the exhaust system is prone to corrosion, which warrants a check for structural integrity and potential leaks.
