2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · RV64 FVF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass in July 2025 at 60,001 miles. As of mid-June 2026, this test remains eleven months old, placing the certification near its statutory expiration window. The maintenance trajectory shows a resolving trend after two consecutive failures earlier that same month and the previous year. The tester recorded an incorrectly aimed nearside headlamp, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and an excessively worn offside front upper MacPherson strut pin or bush during the initial July 2025 attempt. A second attempt ten days later cleared all primary defects, indicating prompt rectification of both lighting alignment and suspension wear. The record demonstrates reactive but effective upkeep rather than neglect, as each deficiency received immediate attention within a short timeframe. Annual mileage sits consistently low at approximately five thousand miles per year, aligning with light commuter or secondary vehicle usage. The odometer progressed from 40,452 miles in July 2023 to 50,887 miles twelve months later, then reached 60,001 miles by July 2025. These intervals show steady accumulation without sudden spikes or extended periods where the vehicle sat idle for multiple years. The annual testing schedule remains uninterrupted, providing a continuous chain of evidence regarding component degradation. Low annual distance typically reduces stress on drivetrain mounts, clutch assemblies, and brake friction surfaces, though it can sometimes allow rubber seals and suspension bushes to dry out if the car rarely reaches full operating temperature. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough examination of the front suspension geometry and steering linkage, particularly the offside upper MacPherson strut mounting area flagged last year. Verify that replacement bushes exhibit zero play and that the damper shaft shows no surface pitting or fluid leakage. Inspect the entire lighting circuit for corroded earth points and loose connectors, given the repeated electrical faults across two separate years. Check the condition of the front brake discs and calliper guide pins for uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles often develop surface rust when parked for extended stretches. Confirm tyre sidewalls remain free of cracking and assess the exhaust system for any heat-related fatigue near the manifold.
