2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · BJ66 HVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on December 4 2025 at 97,020 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an offside headlamp and a worn nearside front tyre. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring presence of an oil leak across multiple tests suggests the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than monitoring the underlying mechanical degradation. At 97,020 miles over ten years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family SUV. There is a significant gap of 10,540 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 20,114 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the December 2025 test. This consistent mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which places predictable stress on wear-related components like the suspension and drivetrain seals. A buyer must inspect the front and rear suspension closely, as the record shows a fractured nearside rear coil spring in December 2023 and recurring tyre wear issues across the front axle. The edge wear noted on the tyres often indicates an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require professional rectification to prevent premature tyre replacement. Furthermore, the oil leak flagged in the December 2025 test requires a thorough underbody inspection to determine if it is a minor seal failure, such as a valve cover gasket or sump plug, or a more significant internal issue that could lead to engine damage over time.
