2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · HS16 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern of repair rather than proactive prévention. The most recent test on 13 July 2026 at 54,421 miles followed a failure just two days prior, highlighting persistent issues with front suspension arm bushes, worn tyres, and incorrect headlamp aim. While the car passed, the recurring nature of mechanical faults in the suspension and braking systems across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 54,421 miles over ten years, the Peugeot shows significantly lower than average usage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. This low usage profile is particularly evident between July 2024 (41,448 miles) and July 2025 (46,410 miles), where the vehicle covered only 5,062 miles in a year. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber and fluid components, as evidenced by the deterioration of the CV boot and exhaust corrosion noted in the 2022 record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2026. The braking system shows a consistent trend of neglect, with thin pads and worn discs recorded in 2020, 2022, and 2023, indicating long intervals between major service items. Additionally, the windscreen has had a recorded defect since at least 2023, which suggests potential stone chips or minor cracks that have been left unaddressed for several years. Verify that the oil level has been topped, as the most recent test flagged a low level despite the low mileage.
