2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SK14 ACO

The 2014 Peugeot 3008’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 at 144,975 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-03-31 at 144,973 miles recorded a failure without specific defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or minor issues resolved between tests. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks recurring mechanical faults, but the abrupt failure followed by immediate pass raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. No structural, brake, or suspension issues were flagged in the record, indicating a stable trend in roadworthiness over the past two years. The vehicle’s mileage of 144,975 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 12,081 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 14-month interval between the 2024-07-25 test at 77,264 miles and the 2025-04-07 test at 79,505 miles, followed by a rapid 65,470-mile increase to 144,975 by 2026. This pattern suggests either heavy usage or potential odometer discrepancies, which could accelerate wear on consumables and critical components. The absence of defects in the last three tests implies consistent maintenance, but the high mileage necessitates scrutiny of wear-prone systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and engine mounts warrant attention due to the high mileage, as well as the steering and drivetrain for binding or play. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the rapid mileage growth and recent failed test without explanation highlight the need for a pre-purchase mechanical survey to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded data.
