2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · CA16 VTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 92,689 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior involving multiple critical mechanical faults. The trend shows an owner who only addresses defects when forced by the MOT tester, evidenced by the repeated failures regarding suspension components and engine management. The persistent presence of a TPMS warning light and an oil leak across several years suggests underlying technical issues that have not been fully diagnosed or permanently rectified. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 14,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 11,150 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This consistent accumulation indicates the car does not sit for long periods, but it also places regular mechanical load on rubber components and suspension bushings, which aligns with the failures noted in the test history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history flags a fractured offside coil spring, worn anti-roll bar ball joints, and degraded suspension arm bushes within a short window. The split CV boots noted in 2024 should be checked for grease leakage and potential damage to the drive shaft joints. The recurring engine malfunction light failure in late 2024 necessitates a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes or sensor failures remain active. Additionally, the persistent oil leak should be identified to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant leak that could threaten engine health.
