2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SG62 ACX

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 at 100,778 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, though two earlier tests produced failures without any listed defects. The March 2025 failure at 99,406 miles and the March 2024 failure at 97,625 miles both show no advisories or faults, an irregular pattern that does not indicate worsening mechanical condition but demands verification of the official failure rationale. Mileage accumulation relative to the 13-year age shows a mixed profile. From the 2024 tests to the 2026 pass, the odometer advanced only 3,153 miles, equating to roughly 1,576 miles per annum, well below the approximate 7,752 miles per year average for the model's life. The 2025 entries reveal a mere 781 miles between 1 March 2024 and 28 March 2025, then a trivial 32 miles by 8 April 2025. Such low recent use suggests extended standing periods, which can precipitate perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on front lower arms and rear trailing arm bushes, given the age and low mileage that may mask intermittent wear. The tester recorded no advisories on brake discs or calipers, yet the long dormancy implied by the mileage warrants checking for binding rear calipers and corroded disc faces. Structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes should be examined for rust, as the Peugeot 3008 of this era is prone to underbody corrosion where road salt accumulates. The two failures carrying no defects remain a documentation anomaly. Request the full DVSA failure notices to confirm whether they stemmed from administrative omissions or unrecorded mechanical faults. Until that evidence is secured, the clean pass history from April 2025 onward supports a cautiously favourable outlook, but pre-purchase scrutiny of consumable items like wiper blades and tyre tread remains prudent.
