2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · SH16 OGT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 60,422 miles, it failed just one day prior with multiple mechanical and electrical defects. This suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced to by an MOT failure. The trend for suspension components is concerning, as issues with suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints have appeared across two different testing intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The car covered 4,954 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 5,348 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which explains the presence of split CV boots and ball joint dust covers. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front-end suspension. The record shows recurring failures with the nearside front suspension arm bush and offside front anti-roll bar ball joint in both 2023 and 2025. The 2023 failure regarding split CV boots on both front drive shafts indicates that the rubber seals are failing, which can lead to expensive joint damage if not monitored. The buyer should also verify that the stone chip in the front windscreen has not progressed, as it was a known defect in the most recent test.
