2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · YP14 FGA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on July 3, 2026 at 75,283 miles. This recent result indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of mechanical neglect in previous years. While the history shows instances of reactive repairs, the last two annual tests recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting that the current owner is addressing identified issues before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,274 miles per year. There is a steady progression of mileage from 20,325 miles in 2017 to the current 75,283 miles without any significant periods of inactivity. This consistent usage suggests the engine has not suffered from excessive thermal stress, though the low mileage relative to the age means age-related rubber components and fluid degradation remain a primary point of concern regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front geometry and braking system. The 2024 test at 66,865 miles flagged play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and while this passed subsequent tests, the tester should verify that the steering remains precise and free of vibration. The failure in 2022 at 51,192 miles due to thin brake pads, pitted discs, and high emissions highlights a history of deferred brake maintenance. Inspect the current discs for scoring or uneven wear to ensure the previous replacement of these components has been maintained. The recurring issues with exhaust mountings and registration plate lamps between 2017 and 2021 indicate a previous tendency to only rectify items upon inspection failure. The buyer should check the exhaust system for excessive corrosion or movement and ensure the hangers are secure. Given the past history of tyres worn to the legal limit, a thorough check of the current tread depth and wear patterns is essential to confirm the current owner is not neglecting basic consumable upkeep.
