2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · WN14 ENT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 116,591 miles passed, it revealed worn and pitted front brake discs and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in March 2025 where the front discs were already noted as worn, suggesting the owner waits for components to reach the point of failure or inspection rather than performing preventative replacements. At 116,591 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a twelve-year-old car. The mileage record shows consistent use, with a jump of nearly 8,000 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. However, the failure in February 2024 at 100,546 miles highlights a period of mechanical stress where the vehicle failed due to black smoke and emissions failures, indicating potential engine management or fuel injection issues that were addressed at that time. A buyer must pay closely to the exhaust system and drivetrain to ensure the minor exhaust leak noted in early 2024 was fully rectified. The rear gearbox mounting that failed in 2024 should also be inspected for vibrations or movement during gear changes, as these components often wear prematurely. Given the recurring issues with the front brake discs across two consecutive years, a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and caliper condition is required to ensure no uneven wear or binding exists beyond the recorded advisories.
