2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CY61 ACU

The 2011 Peugeot 3008 passed its most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 108,027 miles with only a minor non-excessive oil leak advisory, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend shows clear improvement after a troubled period in 2024, where the car failed catastrophically in April before passing cleanly four months later. Prior to that failure, the 2022 and 2021 tests flagged only consumable wear, so the record suggests a vehicle that was lightly maintained until a cluster of electrical and steering faults emerged, then was rectified. Mileage accumulation has been unusually low and irregular for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The test on 12 July 2022 recorded 93,101 miles, and by 30 April 2024 the odometer read just 93,202 miles, meaning the car covered only 101 miles across twenty-one months of standing or minimal use. From April 2024 to August 2025 it then gained 14,825 miles, a return to nearer typical annual use. Such a long dormant spell raises the risk of perished seals and corroded brake components, which the April 2024 failure partially confirmed via a power steering pump leak and rear tyre perishing. A buyer should physically verify the power steering system and oil leak sources, as the tester logged a leaking pump in April 2024 and a residual oil leak in 2025. The electronic stability control fault, broken electronic parking brake switch, and tight steering feel from that failed test must be confirmed repaired, since no subsequent advisory confirms correction beyond the pass result. Rear tyres showed cracking in both 2022 and 2024, so sidewall condition and date codes warrant inspection. Front suspension and brake wear need hands-on checks. The April 2024 test cited a damaged nearside track rod end dust cover and worn front discs, while 2021 noted thinning front pads. Washer jets and wiper blades failed repeatedly, implying the prior owner skipped basic upkeep. Confirm the steering rack, calipers, and subframe corrosion before purchase.
