2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · RE55 ENY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on May 29, 2025 at 112,521 miles showed an initial failure for high headlamp aim and a worn nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the history suggests the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT certificate rather than monitoring component wear and tear between intervals. At 112,521 miles over twelve years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,377 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small SUV of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 9,600 miles covered between June 2024 and May 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the cumulative mileage means that age-related components like rubber bushes and suspension joints are likely nearing the end of their typical expected service life. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension and drivetrain based on recurring failures. The June 2023 test at 93,338 miles flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm bush, and the June 2024 failure identified a split CV boot on the nearside front drive shaft. The buyer should inspect all drive shaft boots for grease leaks and check the front suspension for play to prevent expensive steering joint failure. Furthermore, the inner edge wear noted on the rear tyre in May 2025 indicates a persistent alignment issue that needs to be verified to avoid further premature tyre replacement.
