2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SK14 ABU

The 2014 Peugeot 3008 presents an inconsistent maintenance history characterized by recurring failures during the MOT testing process. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 67,474 miles passed without recorded defects, suggesting that previous issues were addressed immediately. However, the failure in August 2025, just three days after a previous pass, indicates a period of mechanical instability or a failure to rectify a known fault correctly. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have been maintained on a reactive basis, responding to failures rather than following a preventative service schedule. The vehicle mileage is notably low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average. This low usage often correlates with less wear on engine components and brakes, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts, bushes, and seals if the car sat stationary for long periods. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows an increase of roughly 3,400 miles, which is consistent with the low-mile profile observed throughout the record. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking system, as these areas have shown signs of failure in the past. While the most recent record is clean, the repeated failures in 2024 and 2025 necessitate a thorough physical inspection of the suspension mounts and brake components. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for structural corrosion on the underbody is also essential, as low mileage does not protect against age-related rust in the chassis or exhaust system.
