2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · RO14 OHD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent pattern of neglect regarding specific minor defects. While the most recent test on 20 May 2026 at 99,448 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. More significantly, the rear exhaust mounting has been flagged as defective for five consecutive years without rectification, indicating that the previous owners performed only the absolute minimum required to pass the test rather than addressing preventative repairs. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The recorded progression from 67,206 miles in June 2022 to 99,448 miles in May 2026 shows a steady usage pattern without long periods of stationary or sudden heavy strain. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular cycles, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and suspension elements, though the overall mileage is now approaching the six-figure mark. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the recurring mounting failure has caused excessive vibration or structural damage to the exhaust hangers and manifold. The uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre necessitates a check for wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and shock arms. Given the age of the car and nearly 100,000 miles, attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake discs and coil springs, as these are common points of failure at this interval for Peugeot models.
