2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MM63 XPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history reveals a concerning decline in maintenance standards. While it passed its latest test on 29 May 2026 at 77,579 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just one week prior. The transition from a clean record in previous years to multiple mechanical failures suggests the current owner deferred repairs until the absolute deadline rather than performing preventative maintenance. The trend is worsening, as the May 2026 failure identified critical safety and emissions issues that were absent months before. At 77,579 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 6,465 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage patterns. There is a significant gap in records between September 2023 and May 2025, during which 8,000 miles were covered. However, the rapid accumulation of 8,163 miles between May 2025 and May 2026 indicates a recent increase in usage. This accelerated mileage likely contributed to the wear observed on the rubber components and brakes during the latest testing session. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the May 2026 failure flagged both lower suspension arm ball joints as likely to become detached. The record also shows two split CV boots on the front drive shafts, which will lead to premature joint failure if not replaced immediately. Given that the exhaust system was noted as insecure and the lambda sensor failed due to high emission levels, a professional diagnostic of the catalytic converter and exhaust integrity is necessary to ensure the engine is running efficiently. Additionally, the persistent oil leak noted in the most recent pass should be traced to its source to ensure it remains non-excessive.
