2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AY66 OOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of minor exterior defects and suspension wear. The most recent test on August 29, 2025 at 57,034 miles resulted in a pass with advisories for a cut offside rear tyre, a damaged reflector, and a defective fog lamp lens. While these are non-critical items, the persistence of the lighting defects across multiple years suggests a reactive approach to minor repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between August 2022 (42,238 miles) and August 2024 (51,974 miles), the car covered roughly 9,700 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity usage. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is supported by the mechanical issues noted in the service history. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly, following the failure in August 2024 at 51,973 miles. That test identified a fractured nearside front coil spring and a worn suspension arm pin or bush. Although these were reportedly rectified to pass the test, the area should be checked for signs of play in the remaining bushes to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Additionally, the presence of a structural bulge on the nearside rear tyre in 2024 indicates a history of impact damage, necessitating a close check of the current sidewalls for further deformation or uneven wear.
