2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · EA60 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-05 at 82,396 miles resulted in a pass, though it included multiple advisories such as rear brake hose corrosion, front brake disc wear, and suspension mounting area corrosion. A prior failed test on the same date highlighted additional issues, including non-functional position lamps and airbag warning faults. While the latest pass indicates some improvements, recurring suspension and brake-related advisories suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The trend shows partial resolution of earlier issues but persistent concerns with corrosion and brake component degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,396 miles at 16 years old equates to an average of 5,150 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern may indicate periods of inactivity, exacerbating corrosion risks. Notable gaps include a 4,380-mile increase between 2023-12-14 (76,321 miles) and 2024-12-06 (80,701 miles), followed by a 1,695-mile rise to 82,396 miles by 2025-12-05. Such low annual mileage could mask wear on components like CV boots and suspension bushes, which may have deteriorated during storage or infrequent use. Key areas requiring physical inspection include the rear brake hose ferrules, front brake discs, and suspension mounting points for corrosion or wear. The recurring suspension bush and CV boot issues from 2023 to 2024, alongside persistent brake disc pitting, suggest potential neglect in addressing these components. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the strut top tunnels and suspension arms, as corrosion in these areas may compromise long-term reliability. Buyers should prioritise checking for oil leaks, brake system functionality, and the condition of suspension components to assess hidden maintenance needs.
