2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · SL66 YUT

The vehicle shows a clear trend of developing suspension and brake wear that requires immediate attention. In the November 2025 test at 62,050 miles, the car failed due to an inoperative dipped headlamp and a split offside front drive shaft CV boot. While it passed just two days later at 62,164 miles, the tester issued multiple advisories regarding offside front Macpherson strut bush, the offside front suspension arm ball joint, and various worn suspension arm pins. The presence of thin front brake pads and worn discs at this mileage indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life. At 62,164 miles, this Peugeot 2008 has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use-case patterns. The history shows a clean record in October 2023 at 43,643 miles, but defects began to appear in the 2024 test at 54,132 miles regarding uneven wear on the rear tyres. The recurring cracking and damage on the rear tyres noted in 2025 suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or suffers from age-related rubber perishing despite the low mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension geometry and the brake lines. The 2022 test at 36,111 miles flagged corroded rear brake pipes, which is a structural concern that requires monitoring for further degradation. Given the recent advisories for play in ball joints and worn bushes, the front end suspension is beginning to show significant degradation and will likely require component replacements shortly to ensure handling stability. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple mechanical failures in 2025 indicates the vehicle is entering a phase of higher maintenance requirements.
