2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV62 BBF

Recurring issues with front-end suspension components and brake disc condition define the mechanical profile of this Peugeot 3008. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 03 March 2026, the record shows a persistent trend of advisories regarding front brake disc wear and offside front tyre degradation. Of particular note is the progressive deterioration of the front suspension, moving from worn bushes in 2022 to an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage in 2024, and most recently to slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint as of the 2026 inspection. The recorded mileage of 51,118 miles over a 14-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 3,651 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which can lead to specific mechanical considerations. While lower mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the repeated advisories for pitted or scored brake discs and worn tyres may be consistent with infrequent use or short-distance driving, which can prevent components from being regularly cleared of debris or subjected to heat cycles that prevent surface corrosion. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system during a test drive. Given the history of ball joint play and worn anti-roll bar linkages, listen for any knocking, clunking, or irregular thudding sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. The steering should be checked for any wandering or pulling to one side, which could indicate further degradation of the suspension bushes or ball joints mentioned in the 2022 and 2026 records. Regarding the braking system, the continuous advisories for worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs necessitate a physical inspection of the disc surfaces. During operation, feel for any pedal judder or vibration through the brake pedal when applying pressure at moderate speeds, which often accompanies uneven disc wear. Additionally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as this was a recorded major failure in 2024, and verify that all lighting, specifically the dipped beam headlamps and rear position lamps, is operating correctly to address previous failures and minor defects.
