2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · SP16 NBD

The Peugeot 2008’s most recent MOT history demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the October 2025 test reveals a rare anomaly. The vehicle passed without defects in October 2025 after a single retest on the same day, indicating no critical failures were overlooked. Previous tests in October 2024, February 2024, and March 2023 all passed cleanly with no advisories or defects, suggesting consistent compliance with MOT standards. The absence of recurring faults in the record implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, but the retest itself warrants scrutiny of any minor oversights that might have prompted the initial failure. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,800 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, though the record does not extend beyond October 2025. The most recent test at 108,043 miles occurred just nine months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal—any deferred maintenance could now be approaching critical thresholds. The lack of advisories in prior tests suggests no urgent concerns, but the retest hints at potential neglect of routine checks, such as fluid levels or minor wear items. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The retest in October 2025, though ultimately passed, raises questions about whether minor issues—such as binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, or corrosion—were initially overlooked. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and underbody for signs of rust or damage, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, warrant verification given the cumulative wear at this mileage. Finally, fluid levels (brakes, power steering, engine) and hoses should be checked, as these are often the cause of retest failures.
