2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MA16 TKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deteriorating suspension and exhaust components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 95,651 miles passed, it resulted in an advisory for a nearside front inner tyre worn near the legal limit. This follows a significant decline in condition observed in March 2024 when the car failed on multiple suspension-related defects, suggesting that preventative maintenance was deferred in favor of reactive repairs. At 95,651 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a ten-old vehicle. The data shows a period of high activity with 14,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, followed by another 9,700 miles prior to the November 2025 test. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which typically contributes to the accelerated wear of rubber bushes and metal components under the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end geometry. The March 2024 failure highlighted multiple deteriorated dust covers on the anti-roll bar linkage and ball joints, alongside worn suspension arm bushes on both front sides. These issues often lead to unpredictable handling and uneven tyre wear if the entire assemblies were not replaced simultaneously. Additionally, the exhaust system was noted as deteriorating in 2024, which should be checked for structural corrosion or thinning to ensure it has not reached a point of imminent failure.
