2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · PJ16 SMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent MOT conducted on 17 June 2025 at 29,864 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the previous minor wear-related issues have been addressed. This suggests the current ownership period is proactive regarding maintenance, moving from a period of advisories to a clean test sheet. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2021 test at 15,123 miles and the June 2025 test at 29,864 miles, the car covered only 14,741 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading, such as suspension bushes and tyres, or brake calipers seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension components which showed early signs of wear. Specifically, the 2022 test at 19,738 miles flagged worn brake discs on both front wheels, and the 2023 test at 23,870 miles noted a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. A buyer should verify that these components have been replaced with quality parts and check that the alignment is correct to prevent further uneven tyre wear. Given the low usage, checking for cracks in the tyre sidewalls and fluid leaks is also essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from sitting for extended intervals between uses.
