2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · RF16 AAK

The 2016 Peugeot 2008 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent 2025-06-17 MOT at 46,112 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-06-14 (39,554 miles), 2023-06-26 (33,949 miles), and 2022-06-22 (28,324 miles) also passed, though a duplicate 2023-06-26 entry notes a failure with no defects recorded. This suggests minimal mechanical issues over the past four years, with no recurring faults or escalating concerns. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~4,611 miles indicates infrequent use, which may contribute to component stiffness or corrosion but has not triggered significant failures. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with mileage increasing steadily from 28,324 to 46,112 miles. A notable gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (12 months) coincides with the only failure, though no defects were logged. This absence of recorded issues despite the failure implies minor or non-critical faults, possibly related to emissions or procedural checks. The low mileage relative to age suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods, which could affect rubber components, electrical systems, or fluid integrity. However, the absence of advisories or failures in subsequent tests indicates the previous owner addressed any underlying concerns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress, and check suspension bushes for stiffness due to inactivity. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as low mileage can lead to seized parts. The exhaust system and emissions controls warrant attention, given the 2023 failure, though no defects were noted. Overall, the MOT record reflects responsible maintenance, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of components likely affected by prolonged inactivity.
