2013 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Petrol · YM13 AXA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 107,458 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior that flagged multiple mechanical defects. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they result in an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring issues with tyres and suspension components that remained unaddressed across previous testing cycles. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,458 miles represents an average usage of approximately 8,266 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK light car usage. However, the data shows a recent acceleration in use, with 6,000 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, followed by nearly 3,000 miles in the following months. This increase in mileage, combined with the age of the vehicle, puts significant pressure on rubber and braking components which have already shown signs of accelerated wear in the official record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The record shows persistent corrosion on rear coil springs and binding issues with the rear brake calipers that persisted through tests. The December 2025 failure specifically noted nearside rear brake pads at below the 1.5mm limit and pitted discs, indicating the braking system is nearing its service life. Furthermore, the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged as excessively worn in the final failure; these should be checked for remaining play or clunking to ensure they were replaced correctly. The recurring advisories for cracking and perishing rear tyres between 2024 and 2025 indicate that the rubber is degrading due to age and UV exposure, regardless of remaining tread depth. The high carbon monoxide reading recorded in January 2024 also suggests potential combustion efficiency issues or sensor faults that should be monitored to ensure the engine remains within emission limits. Focus on the headlamp units as well, as previous failures for reduced light output suggest the lenses may be oxidizing or the internal reflectors failing.
