2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · T12 TCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 May 2026 at 66,559 miles. While the vehicle remains legal, the inspection history reveals a persistent, recurring issue with the front brake discs. Since May 2022, every annual test has flagged the front discs as worn, pitted, or scored. Although these advisories state the components are not seriously weakened, the repetition suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance or perhaps the effects of the vehicle sitting idle for extended periods. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-usage pattern typical of a vehicle covering approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady climb from 22,092 miles in 2016 to the current 66,559 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage can be beneficial for drivetrain longevity, but the record also hints at the risks of infrequent use. For instance, the May 2025 advisory regarding perishing or cracking front tyres is a common symptom of rubber degradation in vehicles that do not see regular road work. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the front suspension. The recurring brake disc advisories since 2022 imply that the pads and discs may be nearing the end of their service life or are suffering from surface corrosion due to low usage. The 2022 test also noted a worn nearside front Macpherson strut top mount, and a broken coil spring caused a failure in May 2021. While these specific faults appear to have been addressed, the suspension components should be checked for any subsequent play or noise. The steering rack should also be verified. The June 2020 test identified play in the nearside steering rack inner joint. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the history of steering and suspension advisories warrants a careful check of the steering geometry and bush integrity. Overall, the vehicle appears well-maintained regarding major failures, but the frequent advisories for consumables suggest a need for immediate budget allocation for brakes and tyres.
