2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6L Diesel · WD16 DVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worrying trend of deferred attention to wear items. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 52,480 miles passed, it introduced defects regarding worn front brake discs, a nearside front suspension bush, and perishing rear tyres. These wear-related issues suggest that the previous owner was only addressing faults once they approached the MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 52,480 miles over ten years, the Peugeot reflects a low annual mileage average of approximately 5,200 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing only a 4,407-mile increase between July 2024 and July 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. This is evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in 2025, which typically occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods rather than from wearing through tread alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The repeated flagging of worn suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2023 and 2025 indicates a persistent issue that has not been fully rectified. You should also verify the condition of the front brake discs and calipers, as the 2025 tester noted they were worn. Given the history of perishing rubber and sidewall damage, checking the age and condition of all tyres is essential to ensure they are not structurally compromised despite having remaining tread.
