2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · KS16 FPD

The 2016 Peugeot 2008 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend across its recorded MOT history. The most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 73,248 miles passed with zero defects, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean passes stretching back to May 2022. No advisories or failures have been logged in any of the four recorded tests, which indicates consistent baseline upkeep rather than a pattern of deferred repairs or recurring mechanical faults. The vehicle has clearly been maintained to a standard that meets minimum roadworthiness requirements without repeated interventions. The mileage accumulation sits at approximately 7,325 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Annual usage has shown a gradual decline: roughly 8,305 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 7,551 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 6,858 miles between 2024 and 2025. This tapering pattern suggests lighter recent use, possibly shorter or less frequent journeys, rather than any alarming gap or sudden spike in activity. The MOT record itself is sparse in the best possible sense, with no defects to track or recurring issues to monitor over time. Despite the clean paperwork, the most recent MOT is now overdue as of May 2026, so a fresh test should be arranged before purchase to confirm the current condition. At 73,000 miles, a buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for deterioration, as these components commonly wear on higher-mileage examples of this model. Brake disc thickness and pad life deserve close attention, particularly if the vehicle has spent much of its recent life on short urban trips that accelerate corrosion on disc faces. The exhaust system and DPF should be examined for leaks or soot residue around joints, and a live emissions check during a test drive will reveal whether the engine is burning oil or running rich. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking and uneven wear patterns, can indicate alignment issues or neglected rotation. Underbody corrosion around the subframes, sills, and mounting points warrants a physical inspection, as surface rust can progress quickly on vehicles of this age if underseal has broken down.
