2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SO18 XNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 70,842 miles passed with only a minor lighting defect regarding the offside registration plate lamp. This represents an improvement over the February 2025 test where the vehicle failed due to structural tyre failures on both rear wheels. The fact that the vehicle passed three days after that failure indicates the owner addressed the safety concern immediately. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,855 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 45,591 miles and April 2024 at 58,119 miles, the car covered over 12,500 miles in a short period, indicating a phase of higher usage. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres based on recurring issues. The April 2024 test at 58,119 miles flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside a worn nearside front tyre. While these were not immediate failures, the pitting on the discs suggests they may be thinning and could require replacement in the near future. The structural tears in the rear tyres during 2025 also suggest the vehicle may have been subjected to harsh conditions, necessitating a thorough inspection of the current suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls to ensure no hidden damage remains.
