2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CU64 TYZ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 16 June 2026, with a minor advisory regarding a missing brake pedal rubber. While the most recent tests appear stable, a review of the wider history suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance trend. Specifically, the dangerous failure in February 2025 due to critically low tyre tread, combined with suspension advisories that persisted from 2024 into 2025, indicates that consumables and wear-and-tear items may have been neglected until they reached a critical state. With 90,704 recorded miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,559 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. Mechanically, this mileage level is the point where rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, typically begin to degrade due to age and environmental exposure, regardless of the total distance travelled. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering geometry. The history reveals recurring issues with the front bottom arm bushes unbonding and play in the offside front top mount. During a test drive, listen for clunking or knocking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed steering maneuvers. These defects often lead to accelerated and uneven tyre wear, as evidenced by the previous advisories regarding edge wear. Ensure that the current tyres exhibit an even wear pattern across the tread to confirm that the alignment and suspension issues have been fully rectified. The braking system also requires scrutiny given the 2024 advisories for low pads and worn discs. While these may have been replaced, the buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs for pitting or lip formation and check for any shuddering under medium-to-heavy braking. Finally, given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking is recommended, alongside a check of the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed to prevent internal corrosion.
