Our Verdict
This 2011 Peugeot 3008 shows a mixed MOT
When inspecting this Peugeot 3008, thoroughly examine the physical service records and invoices to confirm how the recent suspension and brake failures were rectified. Pay close attention to the front and rear suspension mounts and coil springs, as failures have occurred in consecutive years. Given the petrol engine variant, ensure cold-start performance is smooth and check for any irregular engine noises or warning lights on the dashboard during a test drive.
Insurance group placement for this 1.6-litre petrol variant should be moderate, though exact premiums will depend on individual driver history and postcode. Road tax costs will align with the vehicle's CO2 emissions bracket for a 2011 registration. Budgeting for typical maintenance should account for the model's known suspension wear tendencies, alongside standard consumables like tyres and brakes.
Inspect the suspension system rigorously, checking both front and rear coil springs for any signs of recent replacement or lingering fatigue, referencing the 2024 offside rear and 2025 nearside front fracture records. Verify the parking and service brakes thoroughly following the 2025 braking efficiency failure. Additionally, inspect the bodywork, tyres, and headlamps, which feature prominently as common failure points across the wider 3008 model range.
This grey, 1.598cc petrol Peugeot 3008 was first registered in December 2011 and has recorded 79,744 miles by its December 2025 MOT. The vehicle's MOT history shows consecutive annual spring fractures in both 2024 and 2025, alongside a braking efficiency failure during the most recent testing cycle. On the positive side, it has maintained a relatively low annual mileage footprint compared to the national average for this model.
The Peugeot 3008 has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with suspension and braking components frequently noted among typical advisory and failure categories.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain and carbon issuesSerious
High risk of chain stretch and intake carbon build-up.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) FailureSerious
The electrically-assisted steering column can develop intermittent faults or fail completely, causing heavy steering. This is a well-known PSA Group issue across multiple models of this era.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 and 2.0 HDi engines are prone to DPF blockage, particularly if used predominantly for short urban journeys. A blocked filter triggers limp mode and can cascade into turbo and injector damage.
