Peugeot 2008 Mk2 (2019–2025): what fails at MOT
Across 19,219 MOT tests of the Peugeot 2008 Mk2 (2019–2025) in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 12.4% failed — about 1 in 8. The parts that fail most are wipers, windscreen and mirrors (4.6% of tests), lights and electrics (3.2%), tyres (3.0%), brakes (2.2%) and suspension (0.7%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Peugeot 2008 Mk2 has 10% more MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage. That puts it first of the two Peugeot 2008 generations on MOT results.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
