2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · K19 TAB

A clean and largely untroubled MOT history defines this 2016 Peugeot 2008, with eight consecutive passes recorded between 2019 and early 2026 and no failures or refusals on file. The most recent examination on 26 January 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, supporting a picture of stable roadworthiness over the long term. The handful of advisories that have appeared are minor and non-recurring in nature, covering cosmetic tyre deterioration, an exhaust mounting issue, and trivial items obscuring the driver's view. There is no pattern of corrosion, brake, suspension, or structural advisories, and no component has been flagged in successive tests, which is a reassuring indicator for a ten year old vehicle. With 60,982 miles recorded over roughly a decade, annual accumulation works out at approximately 6,100 miles per year, a level broadly typical for a car of this age and segment. Testing has been carried out consistently every year without any prolonged gaps or lay-up periods, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than being stored for extended intervals. There are no sudden mileage jumps or implausibly low readings between tests, and the odometer progression is steady across each annual examination. Mechanically, this kind of consistent moderate usage tends to keep lubricants circulating, prevent severe corrosion from long standing, and distribute wear reasonably evenly across consumables, though components such as dampers, bushes, and brake components will still have reached a typical end of service life for the mileage. Given the absence of any advisories relating to the underbody, brakes, or steering, a prospective buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection, paying particular attention to the specific areas flagged historically. Inspect the rear tyres carefully for any cracking, perishing, or uneven shoulder wear, as the 2024 advisories noted deterioration on both rear tyres; check the DOT date stamps and confirm matching sizes and tread depths. Examine the offside rear exhaust mounting for signs of hanger cracking, broken rubber, or excessive movement, and run the engine to listen for any ticking or rattling from the rear silencer area that would suggest a failing mount. Lift the vehicle or use a torch to look over the exhaust hangers and rubber insulators directly. On the test drive, listen for clonking noises from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven roads, particularly from the lower wishbones, drop links, and anti-roll bar bushes, which are common wear items on the Peugeot 2008 platform. Test the brakes for pulling to either side, excessive pedal travel, or vibration through the pedal under firm application, and check for any binding or uneven disc wear. Feel for vagueness or knocking through the steering rack, and inspect the underbody and subframe mounting points for any bubbling or surface corrosion. Finally, verify that there are no warning lights illuminated, confirm the exhaust is quiet without blowing, and ensure all exterior and interior trim is securely fitted so nothing obstructs the driver's view, mirroring the minor advisories seen in 2021 and 2025.
