2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SF18 YPE

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-04 recorded three issues: front brake discs with slight lip wear, front tyres near the legal limit, and a minor exhaust leak. These were all classified as "advisories" rather than failures, indicating they require attention but do not immediately endanger safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 21,390 miles is low for an 8-year-old car, averaging 2,674 miles annually. This suggests either light use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to component corrosion or dry rot, particularly in rubber and rubber-like parts. Recurring brake disc issues appear to be the primary pattern. The 2023 MOT noted rear brake disc wear, and the 2025 MOT highlighted front disc wear, though neither was severe. The 2024 MOT included a failure due to split constant velocity (CV) drive shaft boots, which were likely repaired before the 2025 MOT. This indicates that while some issues were addressed, brake disc wear has persisted, possibly due to infrequent use or improper maintenance. The condition trend shows mixed signals. The CV boot failure was resolved, suggesting proactive repairs, but brake disc wear has reoccurred.
