2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · PE18 ACY

The Peugeot 2008 demonstrates a generally concerning maintenance trend, culminating in a test failure on 28 March 2026 at 69,306 miles before passing later the same day following rectification. The vehicle exhibits a pattern of neglected consumable items, particularly concerning tyre health and lighting components that require immediate financial investment from a prospective buyer. The vehicle has covered 69,306 miles across eight years, averaging roughly 8,663 miles annually. This mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a compact family crossover of this age. The historical inspection intervals show consistent yearly testing without suspicious gaps, moving from 38,711 miles in March 2021 up to the current mileage in March 2026, which indicates steady use rather than periods of prolonged storage. A physical inspection must prioritise the braking system and tyres, as the latest MOT details thinning front brake pads, worn front brake discs, and widespread tyre degradation. The tester noted multiple tyre defects including perishing, cuts, embedded nails, and tread depths measuring between 2.7mm and 3.0mm across various corners, matching a recurring historical habit of running tyres close to their legal limits observed in the 2021 and 2023 records. Buyers should budget immediately for a complete set of matching premium tyres and a front brake overhaul. Suspension components and structural integrity appear sound given the absence of corrosion or joint wear advisories, but the electrical system warrants checking due to the recent registration plate lamp failure and headlamp aim corrections.
