2021 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · CL08 KOL

This 2021 Peugeot 3008 presents a largely unblemished DVSA record, with each of the three passes issued over the past eighteen months returning a clean slate free of advisories or defects. The most recent pass on 17 October 2025 confirms continued compliance, while the brief failures recorded the day prior and in October 2024 were rectified without any defects being entered against the vehicle, suggesting these were likely retests following minor items addressed between examinations. With no advisories logged across any test, there is no documented pattern of wear developing on consumables, suspension, or braking components that would warrant immediate concern from a roadworthiness perspective. Accumulating 53,215 miles over five years equates to an average of roughly 10,600 miles annually, a moderate and fairly typical usage rate for a family-oriented SUV of this age. There are no extended gaps in the MOT history that would suggest prolonged standing, nor is there evidence of unusually rapid accumulation between tests that might indicate high-mileage commercial use. This steady annual mileage implies a balanced duty cycle, allowing consumables such as tyres, brake pads, discs, and fluid services to have been worn at a predictable cadence, while keeping the engine, clutch, and drivetrain within expected tolerances for the recorded odometer reading. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means attention on the test drive should focus on the standard wear items a 3008 of this age and mileage would be approaching. Listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as the Peugeot 3008 is known for wear in the front lower wishbone bushes and anti-roll bar drop links, which may not yet have crossed the threshold for an advisory but can begin to show symptoms around the 50,000-mile mark. Feel through the brake pedal for any judder under moderate retardation, suggesting disc warpage, and check for pulling to one side under steady braking that could indicate a binding caliper. Inspect the underside for any fresh oil residue around the engine sump and the turbo oil return pipe, areas that can weep on higher-mileage PureTech engines. Given the clean MOT history and moderate mileage, a thorough pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage remains advisable to verify the state of components not formally examined at MOT, including the timing chain condition, clutch bite point height, and the operation of the automatic gearbox if so equipped. Pay particular attention to the operation of the i-Cockpit instrument cluster and infotainment system, as electronic gremlins in these areas are not uncommon on this generation of 3008 but would not appear on a standard MOT record. A service history check will confirm whether the brake fluid and coolant have been changed at the recommended intervals, and a diagnostic scan should be performed to identify any stored fault codes that have not yet triggered a warning light.
