2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · OO04 SLA

This Peugeot 2008 exhibits a rare and consistent level of mechanical stability, having passed five consecutive MOT tests without a single recorded failure or advisory. The most recent clean pass on 27 January 2026 confirms a continuing trend of roadworthiness, indicating that the vehicle has avoided the chronic corrosion or suspension degradation often seen in cars of this age. With 123,476 miles recorded over eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,225 miles per year. This typical usage pattern suggests the car has been used regularly rather than standing for extended periods, which generally benefits the health of seals and gaskets. However, this mileage puts the vehicle into a phase where primary wear-and-tear components, such as engine mounts and suspension bushings, will have undergone significant operational stress. Despite the absence of MOT advisories, a vehicle with this mileage requires a focused physical inspection of the undercarriage. During a test drive, pay close attention to the front suspension for any knocking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or steering pull under braking, which would indicate wear in the wishbone bushes or tie rod ends that may not yet have reached the threshold for an MOT failure. Attention should also be directed toward the drivetrain and clutch engagement. At over 120,000 miles, the clutch may exhibit signs of slipping or a heavy pedal feel, neither of which are typically flagged during a stationary MOT inspection. Ensure the gear transitions are smooth and listen for any abnormal whining or humming from the transmission at cruising speeds to verify the long-term health of the gearbox.
