Our Verdict
This 2012 Peugeot 3008 presents a mixed proposition with higher-than-average mileage and a past MOT failure. Prospective buyers should carefully verify the mechanical condition against its extensive mileage accumulation before committing.
When inspecting this Peugeot 3008, request a thorough paper trail to verify when major service items were last addressed, particularly given the rapid accumulation of miles. Check the 1.5-litre diesel engine bay for any signs of oil leaks or injector issues, which are common areas of focus for this powertrain. Negotiate on the price keeping the high mileage and past failure history in mind, ensuring you budget for potential wear-and-tear component replacements.
The 1560cc diesel engine typically offers competitive fuel economy on longer journeys, which partially offsets the high annual mileage usage. Insurance falls into a standard grouping for compact family crossovers, though vehicle tax rates will depend on the exact CO2 emissions band for this 2012 registration. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's high mileage total, bringing potential wear on suspension, braking, and exhaust components.
Pay close attention to tyres, headlamps, and drive shaft joints, as these are the top three MOT failure reasons identified in national model aggregate data. Review the suspension arms, bushes, and springs for wear, as these endure heavier stress on vehicles approaching 150,000 miles. Although the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests recorded no specific advisories or defect notes, a physical inspection underneath the chassis is essential.
This red 2012 Peugeot 3008 is powered by a 1.5-litre (1560cc) diesel engine and has covered 149,694 miles by its May 2025 MOT test. Its test history shows four passes alongside a single failure in May 2024 at 127,327 miles. The recorded mileage sits significantly above the national average for a vehicle of this age.
The Peugeot 3008 achieves an aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.1% across the UK fleet, with common failure points centred on tyres, headlamps, and drive shaft joints.
