2002 PEUGEOT 8062.0L DIESEL

The 2002 Peugeot 806 has not had an MOT since 2008, over 17 years ago, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified. The last recorded MOT on 2008-10-31 showed two failures: front tyres with tread below 1.6mm and non-working nearside registration plate lamp, alongside recurring steering issues. The same day’s pass noted slight play in both inner front track rod end ball joints, a defect also recorded in earlier MOTs. Recurring mechanical patterns include steering and suspension defects, particularly track rod end play and steering rack issues, which appeared in 2007, 2008, and 2006. These suggest potential wear or looseness in the front suspension system, which could affect handling and safety. The 2006 failure also highlighted noisy rear brakes and a non-working headlamp, indicating possible brake wear or electrical faults. The trend shows no clear improvement in critical areas. Steering-related defects reoccurred in multiple MOTs, and the 2008 failure included tyre tread issues, which may reflect maintenance neglect. However, the vehicle’s low mileage (approx. 5,970 miles per year) complicates wear assessment.
