2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · BA16 BWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. In the most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 38,086 miles, the car passed after an initial failure involving multiple mechanical defects. While the immediate failures regarding the drive shaft CV boots and the registration plate lamp were addressed, the presence of recurring advisories regarding braking and suspension components suggests that wear-related issues are only being rectified once they reach a point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year with a current reading of 38,086 miles. There is a clear gap between the 2023 test at 30,532 miles and the 2024 test at 35,322 miles, representing a period of low usage. This low mileage is consistent with the evidence of age-related degradation found in the records, specifically the perishing of tyres and corrosion on brake discs despite the low physical mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly and the braking system. The records from 2024 and 2025 repeatedly highlight perished suspension arm bushes and worn, pitted brake discs, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary. Additionally, the failure of all three front CV joint boots in 2025 indicates that the rubber components are deteriorating due to age; the buyer must verify that no grease is leaking from the joints and check the tyre sidewalls for further cracking, as the history shows a pattern of dry-rot failure across multiple tests.
