2014 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · YP63 XSF

The 2014 Peugeot 2008 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 April 2025 at 95,269 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. It shows the vehicle has moved from a pattern of recurring suspension advisories and tyre wear issues into a period where all previously flagged items were rectified. The most recent test, now over twelve months old, still represents a strong baseline, though a fresh inspection is warranted given the time elapsed. The mileage profile is consistent and unremarkable for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation sits at roughly 7,939 miles, tracking a steady trajectory from 83,979 miles in December 2022 to 95,269 miles by April 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record. The vehicle appears to have been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which is generally favourable for mechanical health as it prevents the kind of deterioration associated with infrequent use, such as brake disc corrosion, seal drying, and fuel system contamination. The MOT history reveals a clear pattern of suspension wear concentrated at the front axle. The offside front shock absorber was flagged for light oil misting in both the January 2024 and January 2023 tests, and the December 2022 failure recorded a serious fluid leak on the nearside front unit alongside misting on the offside. The offside front suspension arm pin or bush also appeared as an advisory in January 2024. These are not isolated events. They point to a front-end suspension system that has been operating with degraded damping and worn bushings over multiple test cycles. The clean 2025 pass suggests replacement or repair was carried out, but a buyer should physically inspect both front shock absorbers for fresh oil misting, check the condition of the suspension arm bushes, and examine the front coil springs for sag or fracture. A road test over uneven surfaces will confirm whether the front end still knocks or bounces excessively. Tyre wear also featured prominently in the January 2024 failure, with all four tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on edge. That pattern suggests either prolonged neglect of wheel alignment or a vehicle driven with underinflated tyres over an extended period. The nearside front CV boot was also found split during the same failed test, allowing dirt ingress to the constant velocity joint. Both items were evidently addressed before the retest pass, but the buyer should verify the CV joint for clicking under full lock, check the inner and outer tyre shoulders for uneven wear, and confirm the boot is intact with no fresh grease slinger. The rear brakes and exhaust system have not featured as defects in the record, which is a positive indicator, though a physical check of brake disc thickness and exhaust mounting condition remains prudent given the vehicle's age and mileage.
