2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · FT16 HHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 with 57,832 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to mechanical faults as they arise. While the car failed just ten miles prior to the last successful test due to a split offside front outer drive shaft boot, this was rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass. This suggests the previous owner addresses critical mechanical failures rather than allowing minor defects to persist. At approximately ten years old, the recorded mileage of 57,832 miles is low, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year. This low usage profile typically means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it introduces specific risks related to rubber-based components. Between October 2022 at 38,404 miles and September 2023 at 43,438 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,000 miles in nearly a year. This infrequent use is consistent with the 2023 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and rubber components in person. The 2024 test at 51,125 miles flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin front inner pads, indicating the braking components were nearing their service interval. Given the low mileage and history of tyre perishing, the inspector should check for sidewall cracking on all tyres and inspect the suspension bushings. Additionally, the recent failure of the CV boot necessitates a visual check of the driveshaft joint to ensure no grease leakage or internal damage has occurred following the split.
