2014 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · YP14 VCK

The vehicle currently fails the MOT on the central front exhaust, a minor leak of exhaust gases catalist pipe that requires inspection and potential repair. While the most recent test in the September 2023 test at 76,992 miles passed, the failure in May 2026 indicates a significant deterioration in the system, likely due to continued exposure to the environment or neglect. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, as the vehicle has experienced two separate failed tests within a short period, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped or that the wear on components has accelerated since the last successful run. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 12 years old with 100,807 recorded miles, averaging roughly 8,401 miles per year. This rate is typical for its age but warrants attention, as the record shows no gaps in the data, meaning the car has been driven continuously without any major interruptions. The rapid accumulation of mileage over a long period suggests that the vehicle has undergone significant wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, which are common causes for the failed rear brake pad wear recorded in the 2023 test. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the suspension system and brake discs. Given the recurring faults, the vehicle may require urgent servicing to address the catalist pipe leak and potential suspension damage before it reaches the legal limit or causes a failure on the next test. The vehicle is roadworthy but requires immediate attention to the exhaust system and suspension components to ensure continued safe operation.
