2019 Peugeot 2008 1.5L Diesel · PE19 HSV

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though recent records indicate an emerging mechanical trend regarding oil containment. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 61,010 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester flagged a central front oil leak. This follows a similar advisory recorded during the 19 March 2025 test at 51,562 miles. While the leak was noted as not excessive, its persistence over a twelve-month period suggests a slow-seeping seal or gasket that has not been addressed by previous owners. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 8,716 miles per year, moving from 19,377 miles in March 2022 to 61,010 miles in March 2026. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a significant jump in mileage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 13,168 miles, indicating a period of higher intensity compared to the 9,089 miles recorded between 2022 and 2023. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the engine bay and underbody to identify the exact source of the central front oil leak. Because this issue appeared in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, it warrants a professional assessment to determine if it stems from a sump gasket, oil filter housing, or a drive shaft seal. While the 2025 failure regarding thin rear brake pads was resolved before the subsequent pass, the history of worn tyres and pitted front brake discs in 2022 and 2023 suggests that consumable components are maintained on a reactive rather than preventative basis. Beyond the oil leak, the mechanical history remains relatively clean of structural or suspension defects. The absence of corrosion or steering component advisories is a positive indicator. However, given the recurring advisories for tyres and brakes in earlier years, a thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness is advisable to ensure the vehicle is not currently approaching its next maintenance interval.
