2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · KS16 WFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test on March 20 2026 at 67,402 miles shows a pass following a failure just two miles prior. While the immediate safety failures regarding the registration lamp and side repeater appear to be addressed, the recurring nature of brake-related advisories across multiple years suggests that the owner only replaces mechanical components when they reach the point of an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 55,197 miles and March 2025 at 61,266 miles, the car covered 6,069 miles, followed by another 6,136 miles in the final recorded year. This low annual mileage often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake discs and perishation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the pitted discs and perished noted in the records. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system, as the record shows a persistent trend of pitted and scored discs on both front and rear axles dating back to 2025. The March 2026 failure specifically highlighted offside rear brake pads at critical 1.5mm thickness, indicating that components are being operated to their absolute limits. Additionally, the nearside front inner drive shaft CV boot failure noted in 2025 requires a physical inspection to ensure no grease leakage has contaminated the surrounding assembly, which could lead to premature drivetrain failure. The 2024 report of cracking and perishing on rear tyres suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to rubber degradation despite the low mileage. An inspection should also check for sidewall cracking on suspension bushes and wiper blades, as these are frequently neglected on vehicles until they fail. While the structural integrity remains unflagged, the mechanical history indicates a vehicle that is maintained to the bare minimum standard required to remain legal on the road.
