2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CF17 EBZ

A consistent pattern of clean MOT passes with only minor, wear-related advisories points to a Peugeot 3008 that has held its roadworthiness well through 105,634 miles of service, with the most recent test on 13 January 2026 returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across four recorded tests since 2022, the only items flagged have been tyres worn close to the legal limit at both front and rear positions, and brake discs at the rear showing surface pitting and scoring but not seriously weakened. There have been no advisories relating to corrosion, structural integrity, steering or suspension components, exhaust emissions, lighting, or any of the more costly mechanical systems. This is a reassuring trajectory that suggests the vehicle has been kept within sensible mechanical tolerances rather than allowed to deteriorate through deferred maintenance. With roughly 11,737 miles accumulated per year over nine years, this 3008 sits firmly within typical usage parameters for its age and represents a moderately driven vehicle rather than one subjected to extreme high-mileage running or prolonged periods of standing. There are no concerning gaps between tests or unexplained jumps in recorded mileage, so the odometer reading can be treated as a reliable indicator of mechanical wear. At this annual rate, the consumable items such as brake pads, discs, tyres, drive belts and fluids will have experienced steady, predictable degradation, and the major drivetrain components should not yet be at the threshold where premature failure becomes a significant risk, provided servicing has been carried out at appropriate intervals. For a prospective buyer, the advisories recorded on the May 2022 test are worth addressing as a priority inspection area. The rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored on both sides, and although they were not considered seriously weakened at the time of the test, discs in that condition typically continue to deteriorate and may now be due for replacement. On a test drive, listen for any grinding or scraping noise from the rear axle under light braking, and feel for pedal pulsation or vibration that would suggest the discs have worn beyond their service limit. Check the handbrake holding ability on an incline, as worn rear discs often correlate with reduced parking brake efficiency. Inspect the rear brake pads through the wheel spokes for material thickness, and budget for a full rear brake refresh including discs and pads if the components appear worn or the test drive reveals any of the symptoms above. The tyre advisories from both 2022 and 2025 indicate a recurring pattern of edge wear rather than even tread depletion, which on a front-wheel-drive crossover often points to alignment drift, worn suspension bushes, or weak damping. On a test drive, pay particular attention to steering behaviour at speed: any pulling to one side, uneven steering return after a corner, or a feeling of vagueness through the centre point would warrant an alignment check and a closer inspection of the front suspension arms and bushes. Knock over speed humps or uneven road surfaces with the windows down, listening for clonking from the front subframe area which could indicate worn anti-roll bar links or track rod ends. Finally, given the vehicle's age and mileage, verify the timing belt or chain service interval history according to Peugeot's schedule, inspect the underside for any oil leaks from the engine or transmission, and confirm that the most recent cambelt change has been documented, as this is a critical preventative item on high-mileage examples of this generation.
