2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · HX16 HTC

The 2016 Peugeot 2008 presents a mixed maintenance picture. The most recent MOT, conducted on 25 April 2026 at 41,307 miles, passed, but the tester flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs on both sides. This is not an isolated incident. The record reveals a persistent and worsening trend of rear brake disc wear, a recurring theme across multiple tests. While the vehicle has consistently passed its MOT, the advisories suggest a pattern of deferred attention to the rear braking system, with the condition progressing from "worn" in April 2025 to "worn, pitted or scored" by April 2026. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of achieving a pass, but the underlying wear on key components is not being fully rectified between tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The recorded 41,307 miles equates to an average of just over 4,100 miles per year. The history shows a steady accumulation, rising from 30,509 miles in April 2024 to 35,756 miles in April 2025, and then to 41,307 miles by April 2026. This indicates more recent, consistent use after a period of lighter running. The data is clean with no gaps in the annual test record, confirming regular, if infrequent, use. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the rear braking system. The repeated advisories for worn rear discs and pads indicate a component set that may have suffered from prolonged standing or infrequent use, leading to surface corrosion and uneven wear. The front brakes also show a history of wear, with discs flagged as pitted and pads replaced when below minimum thickness in 2024. Beyond the brakes, the 2024 failure for a missing nearside front wheel fixing is a significant concern that demands verification of the wheel studs and hub integrity. The perishing noted on both rear tyres in 2024 also warrants checking for age-related cracking, as these tyres are now likely over five years old and due for replacement regardless of tread depth. A test drive should assess for any binding or uneven braking pull, particularly from the rear axle.
