2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CU63 SNY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical oversight. While the car passed its March 2026 test at 89,891 miles, it failed just six days prior at 89,883 miles with a significant list of defects including a failed track rod end end, multiple lighting failures, and an excessive oil leak. The transition from a major failure to a pass suggests that the previous owner performed only the minimum repairs necessary to satisfy the MOT tester rather than conducting proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over the thirteen-year period. The data shows steady progression, moving from 80,270 miles in March 2024 to 86,540 miles in March 2025, and reaching 89,891 miles by early 2026. This low annual mileage suggests light urban use but also means the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, allowing rubber components to age and perish despite the low odometer. A physical inspection must focus on the engine's oil integrity, as the record shows a persistent oil leak that escalated from 'not excessive' in 2024 to 'excessive' in the 2026 failure. This indicates a potentially failing gasket or seal that requires urgent mechanical attention to prevent further engine degradation. Furthermore, the 2026 failure of the offside front track rod end highlights a need for a thorough check of the steering geometry and suspension bushings for similar play or wear. The most recent March 2026 test also flagged three tyres at the legal limit or showing physical damage, specifically the nearside front tyre cracking and perishing. This confirms that the rubber components are degrading due to the age of the vehicle. A buyer should verify the condition of all remaining tyres and ensure all lighting elements are functional, as the history shows a recurring pattern of neglected bulbs and lenses across multiple years.
