2015 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · YG65 FRJ

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards as of 2026, but the MOT history reveals a clear progression of deterioration that has not been addressed. The most recent test on 2025-07-05 at 61,922 miles was PASSED, indicating that the car has been maintained for the full 2025 cycle. However, the subsequent failures in July 2024 at 58,821 miles demonstrate that the vehicle has been neglected for over two years, with the first major failure occurring shortly after the initial pass. This gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests suggests that the owner likely skipped routine maintenance entirely, allowing the system to fail under accumulated wear rather than consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory is characterized by significant accumulation, with the first failure occurring at 58,821 miles. Given the vehicle's age of approximately 11 years, this represents a rapid increase in mileage that exceeds the typical consumption rate for a used car, indicating that the owner has been driving the vehicle at high speeds or with minimal maintenance. The consistent failure of the front brake disc and the rear registration plate deterioration in both 2025 and 2024 tests confirms that the drivetrain and registration systems are failing due to lack of attention, rather than being due to a single catastrophic event. In conclusion, the vehicle is not roadworthy at 61,922 miles due to a history of two distinct failures. The owner has failed twice on the same test, which is a clear indicator of a lack of basic upkeep and a failure to address recurring issues. To restore roadworthiness, the owner must immediately inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, the binding rear brakes and front brake discs, and the structural integrity of the rear and front anti-roll bars. A buyer must also verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and the rear registration plate, as these components are the most probable causes of the current failure pattern.
