2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AP14 TYH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Evaluating the vehicle's history from 2021 through to the present, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. The absence of any recorded failures or even minor advisories across five consecutive annual tests suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and has not been subjected to significant mechanical neglect or structural issues. This consistency is a strong indicator of a reliable maintenance regime and a vehicle that has likely been kept in a good state of repair. With a recorded mileage of 127,325 miles, the vehicle has covered an average of approximately 10,610 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. This usage profile is considered typical for a mid-sized SUV and indicates regular, moderate use rather than extreme high-mileage motorway running or excessive short-distance urban driving. While the mileage is consistent with its age, you should be aware that at this level, mechanical components such as suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and various rubber seals are entering a phase of increased wear. It is also prudent to confirm whether the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical service items that typically require attention around this mileage threshold to prevent catastrophic engine failure. Given the clean MOT record, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that standard testing might miss. Inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age even if the tread depth remains sufficient. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks from the underside and check for brake shudder or pulling to one side, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been carried out on a calendar basis to prevent chemical degradation. Finally, check the 12V battery health and ensure all electrical components and climate control systems are functioning correctly to avoid common age-related electronic failures.
