2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · KY66 NBF

The Peugeot 2008 is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening in specific areas. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025, it had failed just four miles prior due to a deteriorated drive shaft boot and an inoperative reversing lamp. This indicates that while immediate faults are being addressed, the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber and electrical components require frequent attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle that is ten years old, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. There has been a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 67,617 miles in 2022 to 85,739 in 2024, and reaching over 98,000 recently. This regular usage suggests the car has been used for standard commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps keep engine seals and mechanical parts from seizing. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the braking system, as the history shows a recurring issue with pitted and worn rear brake discs across three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024. Although these were not flagged as failures, they suggest the vehicle is prone to corrosion or is being driven in conditions that prevent the discs from staying clean. Additionally, the suspension should be checked, specifically looking for further play in the anti-roll bar linkages following the previous failure of the drive shaft boot, which indicates that rubber and joint components are nearing the end of their functional life.
