2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KV12 AGU

The 2012 Peugeot 3008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT records. The latest test on 2025-10-31 at 124,432 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-10-30 at 124,430 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or minor technical issues not flagged in the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical faults are evident from the data, and the absence of advisories or critical failures in prior tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,888 miles annually. The recorded distances between MOT tests show gradual accumulation, with 4,184 miles added between the 2024-11-02 test (120,248 miles) and the 2025-10-31 pass. This pattern suggests consistent, moderate use rather than periods of inactivity or excessive wear. The lack of significant mileage spikes or gaps implies the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions or prolonged storage, which could otherwise accelerate component degradation. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items in older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude a thorough check of brake discs, calipers, and hydraulic systems for corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not be captured in MOT tests. While the history shows no critical issues, the 2025 failure without explanation warrants scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’s compliance with safety standards.
