2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · WF14 HTZ

The Peugeot 2008 presents as roadworthy following its most recent examination. The tester passed the vehicle on 2 February 2026 at 51,693 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 2023 through 2026 returning a pass and no advisories raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A failed entry sits against the same date and mileage as the pass, yet the DVSA record shows no defects logged for that failure, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer readings trace a low-use pattern for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The car covered 37,615 miles at the 8 February 2023 test, rose to 40,332 by 12 January 2024, then 43,328 on 24 January 2025, and reached 51,693 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,300 miles per year, well below typical private-use averages. The jump of over 8,300 miles between January 2025 and February 2026 is the largest single interval, but still modest. Sparse clean records give no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care, though long standing periods implied by low mileage can allow perished rubber components or seized calipers to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension before purchase. The MOT data flags nothing on coil springs, subframe corrosion, or brake binding, but the age of the Peugeot means original bushes and exhaust hangers may be nearing the end of service life. Verify the tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage and confirm the brake calipers move freely after any long idle. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five consecutive tests, prior owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard without visible neglect. The duplicate February 2026 entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure was rectified or voided, but the mechanical evidence supports a sound used purchase at the stated mileage.
