2018 Peugeot 2008 1.5L Diesel · SY68 OMZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs regarding wear and tear components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 38,865 miles passed with a minor defect for a defective rear exhaust mounting. While the car currently passes, the previous years show a consistent pattern of components reaching their end of life, suggesting that maintenance is often addressed only during inspection intervals rather than through preventative scheduling. At 38,865 miles over eight years, the Peugeot averages approximately 4,858 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 5,200 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage explains the relatively low mechanical wear, but it can also lead to surface corrosion on brake components due to lack of frequent use, as seen in the records. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 test at 27,487 miles flagged both front wishbone bushes as worn, and the 2024 test at 32,705 miles noted thin front pads and heavily pitted rear discs. Because these issues recurred or progressed, a physical inspection must verify that the brake hardware was actually replaced and that the suspension bushes are not currently cracking. Additionally, the exhaust mounting must be properly fixed following the 2025 failure to prevent vibration-related damage to the exhaust system.
