2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · ND14 VSA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 125,294 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior. That failure revealed multiple issues including an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush, incorrect headlamp aim, and an inoperative registration lamp. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT rather than replacing developing faults before they fail. At 125,294 miles over 12 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 10,441 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a diesel vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,421 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. This consistent usage pattern places significant wear on rubber components and suspension assemblies, which is reflected in the recurring advisories seen across the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, given the previously flagged offside front lower arm bush and the corrosion on the offside front Macpherson strut. Although the strut was not deemed seriously weakened in 2025, corrosion on structural components in this era tends to accelerate over time. The recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges across 2023 and 2025 point to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not been fully rectified or monitored. Verify that the headlamp aim has been correctly adjusted to ensure the previous failure was fully resolved rather than just a temporary fix.
