2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CA55 MPC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, with a consistent string of clean passes since late 2020. The only significant failure occurred in October 2020 due to a dangerous tyre condition, which was promptly rectified. The absence of any advisories over the last six years suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and likely benefits from proactive upkeep. With 117,884 miles recorded over approximately nine years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 13,000 miles per annum. This is considered high usage for a Peugeot 3008 of this vintage. Such mileage implies significant wear on all primary consumables and drivetrain components. While the MOT history is clean, the mechanical stress associated with this distance increases the likelihood of fatigue in suspension bushings, engine mounts, and the transmission system, necessitating a more rigorous physical inspection than would be required for a lower-mileage example. Given the high mileage but clean MOT record, the buyer should focus on components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. Inspect the suspension for signs of leaking shock absorbers and check the condition of the suspension bushes for perishing or cracking, which may manifest as clunks or instability during low-speed manoeuvres. Pay close attention to the brake discs for significant lip wear or scoring, and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm without shuddering, which would indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Verification of the service history is paramount for a high-mileage vehicle. Ensure that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's interval, as failure here is catastrophic. Check the engine oil and coolant for contamination or degradation, and verify that the gearbox fluid has been refreshed. Finally, examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and check the 12V battery health, as the electrical demands of a modern Peugeot can be taxing on an older unit.
