2013 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MX63 HSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 126,335 miles shows a pass following a failure just eight days prior. While the immediate failures were addressed, the recurring advisories regarding thin front tyres, worn brake pads, and pitted rear discs indicate that the owner typically replaces components only when they reach the point of MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance during scheduled service intervals. At 126,335 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical national averages for a car of this age. The record shows a significant gap of 12,878 miles between September 2024 and October 2025, followed by another 12,810 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the October 2025 test. This consistent annual mileage suggests regular use, which explains the steady wear observed on mechanical components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension and drivetrain, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joints, suspension bushes, and constant velocity boots. The offside front drive shaft boot failed in 2023 and was flagged again in 2025, suggesting the repair may not have been of high quality or that the component is experiencing premature wear. The exhaust system also previously suffered a major leak and defective mounts which led to an emissions failure, necessitating a thorough check of the manifold and mounting hangers to ensure no further structural corrosion has developed. The buyer should also inspect the braking system thoroughly. The record consistently notes pitted and scored discs across all four wheels since 2023, with thin pads noted in the latest 2025 advisory. Given the history of uneven tyre wear on the inner edges noted in 2023, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure the vehicle does not prematurely consume new tyres. The vehicle appears to be functional but the pattern of faults suggests the next owner should budget for frequent consumable replacements reaching the end of their life cycles.
