2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SC14 FFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed its latest April 2026 test at 102,768 miles, it had failed just six days prior with a significant list of mechanical defects. The record shows a recurring failure to address critical issues such as the exhaust system and suspension wear components across multiple testing cycles, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 102,768 miles, this 12-year-old Peugeot averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns. However, the data shows a sharp increase of 17,055 miles covered between February 2025 and April 2026. This rapid accumulation of mileage, combined with the age of the vehicle, places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, and has likely accelerated the degradation of rubber bushes and metal components that appear frequently in the report. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, specifically targeting the persistent corrosion on the rear axle which has appeared as an advisory since at least 2025. The exhaust system is another major point of concern; the tester flagged major leaks at the catalyst and defective mounts in April 2026, which previously caused emissions tests to fail. Additionally, the persistent oil leaks from the engine and gearbox areas noted in early 2026 indicate aging seals that may require expensive intervention soon if not monitored. The suspension also requires close scrutiny as drop links, anti-roll bar linkages, and arm bushes have been flagged as excessively worn over the last two years. Given the history of tyres consistently worn to the legal limit and pitted brake discs, the buyer should verify the current state of all consumables and wear-related components. The recurring nature of these faults suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where multiple mechanical failures are increasingly likely.
