2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AJ67 AOK

The Peugeot 3008 presents a contradictory MOT record that undermines any simple roadworthiness verdict. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 shows a pass at 23,629 miles with no defects recorded, yet the same date carries a failed test logged at 146,815 miles. This duplication suggests a clerical or database error rather than a genuine mechanical failure, as no defects were listed against either entry. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 3 January 2025 at 123,781 miles, 2 January 2024 at 96,971 miles, and 6 January 2023 at 72,834 miles. The maintenance trend across those three years reads as stable, with no advisories or faults flagged on any test. The mileage pattern is deeply inconsistent and demands scrutiny. Between January 2023 and January 2025 the odometer advanced from 72,834 to 123,781 miles, an average of roughly 25,000 miles per year, which is heavy use for a family SUV. Then the December 2025 pass records just 23,629 miles, a figure 100,000 below the January 2025 reading. Such a reversal is not physically plausible without an instrument cluster swap, mileage rollback, or miskeyed record. At around eight years old the 23,629-mile figure implies light use, but the earlier entries show the car covered motorway-scale distances. The clean test history offers no evidence of neglected consumables, though the sparse advisory data limits diagnostic depth. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage via service stamps, V5C, and diagnostic live data before purchase. The absence of recorded defects means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues appear in the official trail. However, the 146,815-mile failed entry with zero faults points to an administrative anomaly that must be resolved at source. Inspect the dashboard clocks for tamper marks and confirm the VIN matches across paperwork. Given the conflicting odometer readings, treat the vehicle as unverified until provenance is established. The mechanical record itself shows no worsening trend, but the data integrity failure overrides any assumption of sound upkeep. Seek an independent mileage check and full diagnostic scan before committing funds.
