2014 Peugeot 2008 1.4L Diesel · RJ14 BXP

The 2014 Peugeot 2008 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 June 2025 at 71,562 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant turnaround from earlier years when the vehicle repeatedly presented brake and tyre advisories. The most recent test confirms that all previously flagged items have been rectified, suggesting attentive ownership in the last twelve months. The mileage profile tells an unusual story. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 8,199 miles in under a year, a sharp acceleration compared to the prior twelve-month intervals of roughly 8,000 to 12,000 miles. Before that, the vehicle had been averaging closer to 8,000 miles annually since 2021. The current total of 71,562 miles over twelve years remains low at under 6,000 miles per year, which typically reduces structural corrosion risk but can introduce its own concerns around dried seals, stale fuel, and infrequent fluid changes if the car was sitting idle for extended periods. The MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of rear brake disc corrosion and pitting, flagged in 2021, 2023, and again in 2024 with a defective exhaust mounting on the rear box. These are not catastrophic failures, but they point to a vehicle that may have spent time stationary or driven short trips in damp conditions, allowing surface corrosion to settle on braking components. A buyer should inspect the rear calipers for seized slide pins and check the exhaust system for rust-through around the front mounting point of the rear silencer box, as this was a recorded defect as recently as July 2024. Front brake wear has been managed more consistently, with pad wear advisories in 2022 and 2023 but no recurrence since. The nearside front tyre edge wear noted in 2024 at 63,363 miles suggests possible tracking or suspension bush wear, so a buyer should check the inner tyre shoulder and front lower arm bushes for play. Engine covers and undertrays were noted as fitted in 2023, which helps protect the underside, but their current condition should be verified to confirm they have not been lost or damaged. Overall, the record shows a vehicle that needed steady mechanical attention through its middle years but has recently been brought up to a clean standard.
