2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · BD12 AAV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 10 October 2025 at 87,950 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently secures passes without recorded defects following initial failures. While the record shows failures exactly one day prior to the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate rectification and lack of subsequent advisories suggest that minor issues like bulbs or minor adjustments are being addressed promptly rather than indicating a deeper mechanical or structural decline. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,282 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 74,115 miles and October 2025 at 87,950 miles, the car covered 13,835 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 6,900 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading if the car sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components most affected by age rather than distance. Given the clean MOT history, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or perish, as these become brittle over fourteen years regardless of mileage. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for pitting and calipers for seizing, as low-usage vehicles often suffer from surface rust buildup. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for early-stage corrosion is also necessary to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised the metal-work longevity.
