2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SG62 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing MOT from March 2026 at 142,687 miles. While the record shows a failure on March 13, 2026, just 17 miles prior to the successful retest, the lack of recorded defects for that failure makes the specific cause of the non-compliance impossible to determine from the data alone. Aside from this singular anomaly, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record since at least March 2023. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,192 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of dormancy or excessive high-speed motorway transit. The progression from 117,149 miles in March 2023 to 142,687 miles in March 2026 indicates a predictable usage pattern that aligns with the vehicle's age. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the mechanical integrity of these components appears sound on paper. However, the sudden failure in March 2026 suggests a component may have reached its wear limit or failed abruptly. A physical inspection should focus on checking for any signs of recent mechanical repairs or fluid leaks that might explain the brief failure. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the braking system and exhaust emissions to ensure the March 2026 failure was fully rectified. While the record is clean of structural rust or significant mechanical advisories, the high mileage of 142,687 miles necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain and suspension components for any signs of fatigue that the MOT testing regime might not have captured.
