2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SC67 ABK

The 2018 Peugeot 2008’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-07 at 86,966 miles showed a passing result with no defects recorded. However, the immediate prior test on 2026-01-05 at 86,964 miles resulted in a failure, despite identical mileage. This suggests either a procedural inconsistency or a last-minute correction. The three consecutive failures in early 2025—on 2025-02-13 (64,420 miles), 2025-02-20 (64,987 miles), and 2025-02-24 (65,207 miles)—indicate a period of repeated non-compliance, though no specific defects were logged. The pattern shows no clear worsening or improvement, as the latest test resolved the issue, but the proximity of failures and the lack of defect details limit confidence in the vehicle’s consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 86,966 miles over eight years aligns with an average of 10,871 miles annually, which is typical for its age. Notably, the 2025-02-13 to 2025-02-20 interval saw a 567-mile increase in just six days, followed by a 220-mile jump over four days. Such rapid mileage accumulation raises questions about usage patterns or potential test irregularities. The absence of defects in the 2026-01-07 test suggests possible repairs, but the lack of detailed records prevents confirmation. The sparse data from 2025-02-13 to 2026-01-07 leaves gaps in assessing long-term mechanical reliability. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the repeated failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could have contributed to prior issues. Corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be checked, as it often accompanies inconsistent maintenance. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test is positive, but the history of repeated failures implies potential unresolved underlying problems. A thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify the vehicle’s structural integrity and mechanical soundness.
