2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · NA68 ABV

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 18,470 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 2,309 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and light, growing from 7,841 miles in November 2022 to 18,470 miles by October 2025. This pattern indicates the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation that the MOT does not always capture. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack due to age regardless of tread depth. The brake system requires a close inspection for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, as lack of use often leads to corrosion and seizure in the braking mechanism. The absence of any advisories across five years of testing is unusual and suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a sheltered environment. However, you should verify the engine oil condition and battery health, as infrequent use can lead to sludge buildup and premature battery failure. Check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms, a common issue for cars that sit idle for long periods.
