2018 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · YY18 YMP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 31,740 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of multiple failures in early 2025. While the car previously struggled with specific mechanical and wear-related depletions, the most recent test indicates that the previous owner successfully addressed the identified faults to bring the vehicle back to a passing standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the car covered 11,466 miles in just twelve months. This suggests a recent change in usage patterns. However, the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the February 2025 failure where tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking despite age rather than tread depth. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the arm pins and bushes were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025. Despite the recent pass, these components are prone to play on low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. The rear brake discs also showed a history of pitting and scoring in both 2024 and 2025, requiring a check of the current disc surfaces for corrosion or uneven wear to ensure they were replaced as claimed. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding a wiper blade and an inoperative lamp suggests that basic preventative maintenance was previously overlooked, though these appear handled now.
