2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · WU69 PXS

A consistent pattern of brake and tyre wear advisories sits at the centre of this Peugeot 2008's MOT record, alongside a long-standing minor windscreen chip that has remained below the threshold for failure across multiple tests. The most recent examination on 30 October 2025 recorded no advisories at all, which breaks a sequence of brake and tyre wear items that had appeared at the preceding tests. The 2024 test flagged both front tyres as worn to the bald limit on inner and outer edges, the 2023 test noted nearside rear brake disc pitting, nearside front inner brake disc wear, offside front inner brake disc wear, and a nearside front tyre approaching the legal edge, while the 2022 test was clean apart from the windscreen minor. Taken together, the record shows a vehicle that has passed every test but has demonstrated repeated component wear at the front axle, suggesting that consumables on this car reach the end of their service life on a fairly regular cycle rather than holding up across full MOT intervals. With 49,075 miles recorded over seven years, the average annual mileage of roughly 7,011 miles is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and segment, indicating neither unusually heavy motorway use nor extended periods of standing. There are no gaps in the MOT testing record, with annual examinations from 2022 through to 2025, so the mileage accumulation appears to have been steady and verifiable rather than interrupted by a long off-the-road period. This kind of moderate, consistent usage tends to produce the type of wear pattern seen here, where brake discs and tyres degrade at a predictable pace but the structural and mechanical components beneath have not yet been stressed into chronic failure territory. For a prospective buyer, the front brake discs are the priority item to inspect closely. The 2023 advisories specifically mentioned nearside front inner disc wear and offside front inner disc wear, while the nearside rear disc showed pitting at the same test, so any judder through the brake pedal, pulling to one side under heavy braking, or a grinding or scraping noise from the front wheels would suggest those discs have now worn past the point of tolerance and require replacement before the next MOT. On a test drive, listen for a cyclic rub or scrape that changes with wheel rotation, and feel for any vibration through the steering wheel or pedal when braking from higher speeds, which would indicate disc lipping or warped friction surfaces. The tyre wear pattern recorded in 2023 and 2024, particularly the bald inner and outer edges flagged on both front tyres in 2024, is worth investigating further as it may point to a suspension geometry issue rather than simple rubber wear. Camber or tracking problems on the front axle could be causing the shoulders to scrub prematurely, so the buyer should check for uneven feathered wear across the tread on any tyres currently fitted, and listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, which would indicate worn wishbone bushes, drop links, or top mount deterioration. The persistent windscreen chip noted in 2022 and 2023 should also be examined to confirm it has not grown or migrated into the driver's primary line of sight, as any further propagation could tip it from a minor into a fail category at the next test.
