2015 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · RK65 FDL

The Peugeot 2008 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 123,311 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the three clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The two failure entries on 18 September 2024 and 8 September 2025, both at near-identical mileages of 116,691 and 123,310, carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than genuine mechanical rejection. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,210 miles per year against the 123,311 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 109,276 miles at the 28 September 2023 test to 116,691 miles by 18 September 2024, then to 123,311 miles by 9 September 2025. Annual use of around 7,000 to 6,600 miles in the last two intervals is below the lifetime average, suggesting lighter recent running. The DVSA data shows no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests, so the history is continuous and unbroken. Given the absence of any flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the record implies the previous keeper kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in both 2024 and 2025 points to clerical rejection rather than deferred maintenance, though a buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate details match. No recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures appears in the advisories. In person, the buyer should verify the bodywork and underbody for hidden rust not captured by the emissions and lighting checks, and listen for drivetrain noise from the higher-mileage clutch or gearbox. A road test should confirm the braking system is free of binding calipers and the steering has no excess play, as these items were not separately advised but remain common on a 2015 hatchback at this mileage.
