2016 Peugeot 2008 1.2L Petrol · YM65 OOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 69,151 miles resulted in a failure due to an insecure exhaust system and an oil leak. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the recurrence of the oil leak which first appeared in September 2022 suggests a persistent issue that has been monitored rather than fully rectified. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 47,802 miles and September 2024 at 63,679 miles, the car covered 15,000 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. However, the 2024 test flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit and uneven on the edges, which points to a lack of alignment checks or a failure to monitor consumable wear during that period. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the recurring oil leak noted over three years. Although the tester classified it as not excessive, its persistence across multiple tests warrants a check of gaskets and seals. The exhaust system also requires physical verification to ensure the hangers or brackets causing the 2025 failure are now secure and not vibrating. Given the uneven tyre wear recorded in 2024, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to prevent premature degradation of new rubber.
