Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific Peugeot 2008, you should prioritise a thorough check of the braking system. The MOT history shows multiple instances of worn or pitted brake discs and thin pads across several years (2022 and 2023). Ensure that any recent service has addressed these components fully and not just issued advisories.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT findings from October 2025, which noted play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. You should also ask for evidence of any work carried out to rectify the 'light misting of oil' on the nearside front shock absorber noted in 2023, as this can indicate future leakages.
The 1200cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model variant is typically competitive for a small SUV.
Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the wear patterns seen in the MOT history, specifically the frequency of brake component replacements. You should budget for regular inspections of suspension components and lighting, as these have appeared in recent test results.
Focus your physical inspection on the suspension and braking hardware. Given the 2025 advisory regarding the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, check for any knocking or unusual noises when turning the steering wheel or driving over bumps. Also, verify that the rear registration plate lamp has been replaced and is functioning correctly.
Check the condition of all four brake discs and pads. The vehicle has a documented history of pitting and scoring on discs (recorded in 2022 and 2023), so ensure the current surfaces are smooth and free of heavy corrosion. Finally, inspect the shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage, following the advisory from the 2023 MOT.
This 2016 red Peugeot 2008 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 71,660 miles since its first registration in May 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear, particularly regarding brake discs and pads, alongside more recent suspension and lighting advisories. The mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,225 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including drive shaft joints, headlamps, and exhaust components.

- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine (EB2/EB2DT/EB2DTS) uses a wet timing belt running submerged in engine oil. The belt degrades over time, shedding rubber particles that clog the oil-pump pickup strainer, causing low oil pressure, vacuum pump failure and loss of brake servo assistance. Fuel dilution from short UK urban journeys accelerates wear. Stellantis extended the warranty to 10 years/112,000 miles for affected engines built April 2014 to June 2022. A degraded belt can lead to terminal engine damage if not caught early.
- AdBlue tank failureSerious
On 1.6 BlueHDi diesel variants, the AdBlue (SCR) tank houses an integrated pump, filler-cap vent valve and dosing injector. Urea crystallisation, pump failure or a blocked vent can trigger an AdBlue or emissions warning and a countdown to engine no-start. The tank and pump are replaced as a sealed unit. Fault codes such as P20E8, P21C5 or P20EE may be stored. This is a high-risk issue on UK BlueHDi examples typically seen from around 60,000 miles.
- DPF Oil Contamination on Diesel ModelsModerate
First-generation diesel 2008s fitted with a DPF can suffer oil contamination if the DPF regeneration cycle is interrupted mid-way — for example by switching the engine off during a forced regen. Fuel leaks into the oil system, gradually raising the oil level and risking engine damage. This is especially relevant to UK cars used predominantly on short, low-speed urban trips where the DPF rarely reaches regeneration temperature. Regular motorway running and checking the oil level are essential preventative measures.
