Our Verdict
A sensible choice for high-mileage drivers seeking a clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is significantly above average, the lack of recent defects suggests a vehicle that has been maintained consistently.
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize the service history to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained according to Peugeot's intervals, particularly regarding the timing belt. Given the relatively high mileage, check for signs of wear on the suspension and drive joints, as these are common failure points for this model range. You should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the aggregate data for this model identifies them as a frequent MOT failure reason.
Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is well above the average for a 2016 registration. However, the clean MOT records from 2023 through to 2025 are a positive indicator that the car is not suffering from recurring mechanical neglect or immediate safety issues.
The 1.6cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency on motorway miles, making it cost-effective for annual commuting. Expect low fuel consumption compared to petrol counterparts, though road tax and insurance groups will vary based on your specific insurance profile and the vehicle's emissions band.
Annual running costs are estimated between £900-£1,200, covering fuel, basic servicing, and routine maintenance. Note that diesel components in this age may face more expensive repairs as they approach higher mileage thresholds.
Pay close attention to the lighting system, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for the Peugeot 2008 fleet. While this specific vehicle had no defects recorded in its most recent test, ensure all bulbs and lenses are functional and not clouded.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for leaks or drive shaft joint wear; aggregate data shows this as a common weak point for this model. Given the 72,271-mile reading, check for any play in the steering or vibrations that could indicate worn bushes or ball joints.
This 2016 Peugeot 2008 sits at 72,271 miles, which is considerably higher than the fleet average of roughly 7,230 miles per year for its age. However, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests with no defects recorded, following a single failure in April 2023. The 1.6cc diesel engine is well-suited for longer journeys, though the high mileage requires diligent inspection.
The Peugeot 2008 shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.3%, with common issues related to lighting and suspension components.
