2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CP61 AET

The vehicle shows a history of recurring wear and tear issues primarily concentrated in the suspension and braking systems. In the most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 133,054 miles, the tester flagged a pitted and scored rear brake disc alongside a front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge. This follows a pattern seen in the 2024 test at 128,602 miles, where the offside front suspension arm ball joint was noted for play. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the repeated mention of ball joints and brake components suggests that the mechanical hardware is reaching the end of its service life. With 133,054 miles recorded over 15 years, the car averages approximately 8,870 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. The MOT history indicates a consistent annual inspection routine without significant gaps in testing that would suggest periods of neglect. However, the specific failures in September 2023 at 119,518 miles—related to play in the steering joint, exhaust emissions, and a ball joint—point to a previous failure to address minor mechanical defects before they became test failures. A prospective buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and steering components over the last three years. The pitted rear brake discs noted in late 2025 will likely require replacement soon to ensure optimal stopping performance. There are no major structural corrosion failures noted in the recent advisories, but the frequency of consumable-related failures indicates that the vehicle requires proactive maintenance to remain roadworthy.
