PEUGEOT 8072006 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2024‑10‑21 at 183 307 miles passing with only an advisory for slight play in the offside front outer track‑rod end ball joint (2.1.3 (b)(i)). After a series of failures in 2021‑2022—including lamp faults, brake pad wear and a missing subframe bolt—the record shows a clear improving trend, with only minor suspension wear persisting. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 9 165 miles per year, a typical figure for a 20‑year‑old car. MOT entries are recorded annually from 2015 through 2024, indicating regular testing and no abrupt mileage jumps. The data set is relatively complete, with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. A buyer should inspect the suspension system closely; the repeated advisories on the offside front outer track‑rod end and lower suspension arm ball joint point to wear that may require replacement. The coil springs have been noted as worn and corroded at the 2016 test, so check for rust and loss of stiffness. Brake components show a history of thin pads (2021) and worn/pitted discs (2015), so verify pad thickness and disc condition. The subframe bolt was missing in multiple tests, so ensure the bolt is present and the subframe is securely attached. The exhaust box was reported deteriorated in 2015, warranting a visual check for rust or leaks. Lighting circuits have been rectified, but a full lamp check is advisable as a precaution. Verify that the advisory play does not affect steering geometry and that there are no signs of structural corrosion around the front subframe or chassis. In summary, the car is mechanically sound with a stable maintenance pattern, yet a thorough pre‑purchase inspection of suspension, brakes, subframe integrity and corrosion is essential.
