2016 Peugeot E7 2.0L Diesel · SF16 EEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards mechanical wear and reactive repairs. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 117,313 miles passed with only an advisory for an offside rear inner tyre, the preceding history indicates a decline in preventative maintenance. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures thereafter suggests that components are reaching their service limits. At 117,313 miles, the car has averaged approximately 11,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old vehicle. There is a notable gap of over 27,000 miles recorded between June 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 25,000 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This consistent mileage, combined with the age of the vehicle, places significant stress on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain, given the recorded failure of the nearside suspension arm ball joint in 2024 and the severe deterioration of the offside front drive shaft boot in 2025. These issues indicate that rubber seals and joints are beginning to fail simultaneously. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in 2024 should be monitored closely in person to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant defect requiring engine intervention. The braking system also requires attention, as rear brake pads were found below the legal limit during the 2024 test. While these were likely replaced since, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the pads and check the discs for uneven wear. Given the most recent adviser for a damaged inner tyre, a full inspection of all four tyres is necessary to ensure no further structural damage is present that was missed during the latest test.
