2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AF60 KNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension and rubber wear. The most recent test in June 2025 at 142,509 miles flagged three advisories involving a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a severely deteriorated nearside outer CV boot, and a chafed offside front brake hose. While the vehicle passed, these defects indicate that the mechanical components are reaching the end of their functional life and will require imminent attention to prevent future MOT failures. The mileage data presents a significant discrepancy in the records. While the vehicle averages approximately 8,900 miles per year over its sixteen-year life, the history shows a massive drop from 212,024 miles in June 2023 to 140,029 miles in July 2024. This negative mileage of over 70,000 miles within a two-year period suggests a serious clerical error or potential odometer tampering. If the higher figure is accurate, the vehicle has been driven significantly more than the annual average suggests, which places immense stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with ball joints in the anti-roll bars during 2024, followed by the lower arm ball joint in 2025, suggest the front-end is degrading rapidly. The CV boot must be checked for grease leakage, and the chafed brake hose requires immediate replacement to avoid sudden hydraulic failure. Given the previous fractured coil spring recorded in early 2023, the structural integrity of all springs should be verified for signs of heavy corrosion or fatigue.
