2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · B12 MAV

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components, despite passing its most recent MOT on 23 December 2025 at 44,950 miles. While the car remains roadworthy, the December 2025 test recorded a significant increase in advisories compared to previous years. The tester flagged pitting and scoring across all four brake discs and noted perishing or cracking on three tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is being maintained enough to pass, the frequency and variety of minor defects are increasing. The mileage profile shows a very low usage pattern for a 2013 vehicle, covering only 44,950 miles over approximately thirteen years. This averages to roughly 3,458 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, but the low mileage likely contributes to the specific types of deterioration seen in the record. The recurring advisories for pitted brake discs and cracking tyres are classic symptoms of a vehicle that spends long periods stationary, allowing surface corrosion to develop on metal surfaces and rubber compounds to perish from age rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension components. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with brake disc condition, with pitting or scoring appearing in almost every test since 2019. The December 2025 report specifically noted worn bushes on both front suspension arms, a condition that was first flagged in August 2024 at 42,219 miles. This suggests that suspension component wear is progressing. The inspection should also include a thorough check of all rubber seals and tyres to ensure the perishing noted in the latest test has been addressed with new replacements. Given the history of fractured coil springs in August 2021 and recurring tyre issues, the buyer must verify that the suspension and wheel assemblies have been properly overhauled rather than just patched to meet minimum standards. The low mileage is an advantage, but the mechanical record suggests the car requires more frequent attention to prevent age-related degradation.
