It can be, but only if the individual car backs it up. For the 2013–2016 Peugeot 2008 1.6 Diesel Manual, treat model-level patterns as viewing priorities and let condition, history and inspection evidence decide.
The problem cards above list the model-level checks for this guide. Read them as priorities for inspection and paperwork review, not proof that every example will have those faults.
