2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV62 BFL

The 2012 Peugeot 3008’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 at 103,830 miles showed a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2026-01-21 at 103,825 miles, also with no recorded defects. The prior tests in 2025 and 2024 similarly alternated between pass and fail without specific issues noted. This pattern suggests potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies in the MOT records rather than mechanical deterioration. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable, as the latest test confirmed compliance, but the repeated failures without defects raise questions about the accuracy of the recorded outcomes. The vehicle’s mileage of 103,830 miles aligns with an average of 7,416 miles annually over 14 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT tests are spaced approximately one year apart, with consistent mileage increments between 90,559 (2024) and 103,830 miles (2026). No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, indicating steady, predictable usage. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2024 tests, despite the 2026 failures, complicates the assessment of long-term mechanical trends. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity by inspecting for rust or corrosion, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, as these are common issues in older models. Check suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, and confirm brake disc condition and caliper functionality, as these are critical for safety. The lack of recorded defects in earlier tests does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as MOT records may not capture all potential issues.
