2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · NG65 HHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 64,623 miles passed with advisories regarding the exhaust and braking system, the tester identified scored rear brake discs and a minor exhaust leak with a loose silencer. These issues follow a significant failure in 2023, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or advisory status. The recorded mileage of 64,623 miles over ten years reflects an average usage of approximately 6,400 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical low-mileage driving. There is a notable gap in records between July 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles in just sixteen months. This burst of activity likely contributed to the failures seen in September 2023 at 54,931 miles, where the car suffered multiple mechanical failures including suspension and suspension components. A buyer should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure flagged excessively worn suspension arm bushes and split CV boots on both front drive shaft joints; while these were likely repaired to pass the subsequent test, rubber components should be checked for cracking or grease leakage to ensure the hold. The 2022 failure for multiple tyres below the legal limit suggests a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. The braking and exhaust systems require close attention given the latest advisories. The pitted and scored rear discs indicate corrosion or heavy use that may soon necessitate replacement. The minor exhaust leak and loose silencer noted in late 2025 should be verified to ensure the mounting brackets are not structurally corroded, which would lead to a failure in the next test if not addressed now.
