2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · SK66 WWD

The vehicle currently holds a passing rating on the 2026-02-03 MOT at 43,320 miles, indicating that the most recent test was performed at the correct time relative to the current date. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend: the 2023-10-13 test on 33,964 miles was a failure, marking the first instance of a defect in the rear brake disc and suspension arm pins. This failure in the most recent test suggests that the braking system and suspension components have not been adequately maintained since the 2023-10-13 test, with the brakes likely requiring adjustment or repair. The mileage pattern indicates that while the vehicle is approximately 10 years old and has accumulated roughly 4,332 miles per year, the data is sparse and clean, which is atypical for an older model. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2026-02-03 and 2023-10-13 tests, with a gap of over two years, suggests that the owner may have maintained the car under less than optimal conditions, potentially neglecting routine inspections or servicing. This gap implies that the vehicle has not been kept in a "good" condition for the full duration of its life, which is a significant factor in determining its overall roadworthiness. Given the recurring faults identified in the 2023-10-13 failure, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, worn suspension bushings, and structural integrity issues such as exhaust flexi deterioration. The 2026-02-03 test passed, but the 2023-10-13 failure indicates that the brakes and suspension are not in a state of normal adjustment, requiring potential adjustment or repair before the vehicle can be safely driven.
