2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AD12 AOL

The Peugeot 3008 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 61,363 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 60,003 miles on 2 October 2025 and again at 56,550 miles on 19 October 2024. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2012 vehicle. At 61,363 miles recorded in February 2026, the annual average sits near 4,383 miles. The gap between the October 2023 test at 52,754 miles and October 2024 at 56,550 miles added only 3,796 miles. A further 3,453 miles accumulated by October 2025, then 1,360 miles to the February 2026 pass. The DVSA data shows no failed items aside from an anomalous 2 October 2025 entry marked failed at 60,003 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative reversal rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fourteen-year age and low annual mileage. Prolonged standing between short journeys accelerates perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members more than high-mileage use. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust emissions issues, but testers cannot assess hidden rust or intermittent electrical faults within a standard test. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard without deferred consumable neglect. The low mileage implies the 3008 likely suits a buyer seeking minimal drivetrain wear, provided a pre-purchase check confirms underbody integrity and tyre sidewall condition.
