2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · BD65 HPE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 57,768 miles saw the car fail initially due to a defective offside front headlamp and worn front brake pads and discs. While it passed upon retest, the recurrence of brake component issues across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach a failure threshold. At 57,768 miles, this 11-year-old Peugeot shows low mileage, averaging approximately 5,250 miles per year. This low usage profile is evident in the significant gaps between tests, such as between September 2022 (45,975 miles) and September 2023 (46,125 miles), where the vehicle covered only 150 miles in a year. However, the 2021 test flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking, which indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, leading to age-related degradation of rubber components despite low physical wear. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows a persistent history of pitting and scoring on brake discs dating back to 2022, with thin pads noted again in 2025. The nearside front CV boot was also flagged as severely deteriorated at 52,445 miles, which needs to be checked for grease leakage to prevent an imminent drive shaft joint failure. Given the history of perished tyres and low mileage, a close inspection of the tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings is essential to ensure they have not become brittle from age.
