2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · FX16 OJB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 6 June 2026 at 67,133 miles, it had failed just ten days prior at 67,030 miles. This recent failure revealed multiple defects, including a split CV boot, a worn nearside ball joint, and an illegal offside tyre, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they directly result in a legal test failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 10,000 miles between June 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 10,000 miles covered in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This increase in usage over the last two years correlates with the accelerated wear of consumable components, such as the thinning of the front brake pads and the degradation of the suspension and rubber components recorded in the 2026 entries. A buyer must carefully inspect the engine bay for signs of the excessive oil leak flagged in May 2025, as no record confirms this was rectified during the subsequent pass. The recurring failure of the registration plate lamps across multiple years suggests a neglect of basic electrical maintenance and bulb replacement. Furthermore, the offside shock absorber noted for misting in 2024 and the nearside ball joint failed in 2026 require a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry to ensure no further lateral wear or steering instability is present.
