2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · T123 ADK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in May 2026 at 50,073 miles passed despite four separate advisories regarding all four tyres showing signs of edge wear or perishing. This mirrors a pattern seen in June 2025 where the car initially failed due to an insecure driver seat, lighting failures, and mechanical wear before passing on a retest. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There was a period of low usage between December 2021 and June 2022, where only 80 miles were recorded over six months. However, usage has accelerated since, with nearly 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 7,800 miles in the following year. This increased activity explains the more frequent appearance of wear on consumable items noted in the later records. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system, as the 2025 test flagged both thin pads and worn discs. While these were noted as not excessive, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner may delay servicing until components reach a failure point. The oil leak from the engine sump plug recorded in 2025 requires a physical inspection to ensure it has been properly tightened and does not indicate a more significant gasket failure or threads degradation. The condition of the tyres remains a primary concern. The history of cracking and perishing on the rear tyres suggests the vehicle has sat for long periods or is using low-quality rubber. Inspect the driver's seat mounting to ensure the fix from the 2025 failure was permanently addressed. Beyond these items, the record shows no recorded structural corrosion or suspension defects, suggesting the core integrity of the Peugeot remains sound despite the neglected minor maintenance.
