2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV62 BFA

The 2012 Peugeot 3008 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive annual MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-02 inspection at 89,044 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no recurring faults requiring corrective action. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,360 miles annually. Tests spaced exactly one year apart show gradual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods. The 2022-07-05 test at 74,500 miles marked a 6,725-mile rise from the 2021-07-07 reading, reflecting steady usage. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than extended storage, reducing risks of component degradation from neglect. While no specific faults were noted, a buyer should verify suspension components like bushes and coil springs, which often degrade over 14 years. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, warrant inspection for wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, particularly in the underbody, should also be checked, as they can develop unnoticed without visible signs. The MOT history’s cleanliness supports the vehicle’s reliability but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase examination.
