2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · ML16 PZU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 108,009 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of apparent neglect in late 2024. While the car failed in November 2024 due to multiple mechanical and wear issues, the subsequent pass in December and the following July indicates that the critical faults were addressed, bringing the vehicle to a stable state. At 108,009 miles over ten years, the Peugeot averages approximately 10,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small SUV. The record shows a notable spike in activity between November 2023 (88,131 miles) and December 2024 (103,194 miles), where the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high intensity likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the suspension and braking components identified during that specific testing period. A buyer should scrutinize the front suspension geometry, as the ball joints triggered a failure in November 2024 for being excessively worn. Although these were reportedly replaced, recurring uneven wear on front tyres across multiple years suggests potential alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. The braking system also shows a history of rapid degradation, with pitted rear discs and thin front pads flagged between 2023 and 2024. A physical inspection should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the current brake components have sufficient life to justify the previous repairs.
