2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · MA16 TKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 29 May 2026 at 54,682 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical degradation that required significant intervention immediately before the latest test. The failure just eight days prior at 54,522 miles highlighted multiple critical issues involving engine management, emissions, and front suspension components. While these specific defects appear to have been addressed, the recurring nature of certain faults suggests a history of reactive rather than proactive vehicle care. At 54,682 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 5,400 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a ten-year-old car. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests. Low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain, yet the record indicates that rubber-based components and suspension bushes have suffered from age-related perish, likely due to periods of standing or environmental degradation rather than high mileage alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the control arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged as worn or deteriorated across three consecutive testing years. The transition from 'worn' in 2025 to 'excessively worn' in 2026 indicates that these components reached the end of life rapidly. The engine management system also warrants scrutiny; the failures regarding carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and lambda readings, alongside an inoperative malfunction indicator light, suggest a persistent sensor issue or manifold leak that may not be fully resolved despite the recent pass.
