2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV61 GYC

The Peugeot 3008 demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 101,455 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A prior failure on the same day at the identical mileage suggests a minor rectification was carried out immediately before the retest, a common occurrence for trivial items like a blown bulb or faulty wiper, rather than a serious mechanical fault. The overall trajectory shows a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a roadworthy standard without recurring mechanical issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,764 miles per year, which is typical for a fifteen-year-old family SUV. Between the March 2024 test at 86,036 miles and the March 2025 test at 94,226 miles, the car covered 8,190 miles, demonstrating consistent annual usage. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating 7,229 miles by the February 2026 test. This steady, unremarkable progression rules out periods of extreme high-speed motorway strain or prolonged inactivity that might cause suspension seizure or fuel degradation. The data reflects a predictable ownership pattern without alarming gaps or sudden spikes in distance traveled. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a fifteen-year-old Peugeot 3008 at 101,455 miles requires a thorough physical inspection of its structural integrity and mechanical wear components. Buyers should closely examine the subframes, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a common issue on vehicles of this vintage. The rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanisms on the 3008 are prone to binding, so testing the parking brake efficiency and checking for uneven pad wear remains essential. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these consumables degrade naturally over time regardless of the MOT pass rate. While the MOT history is entirely clean, the age of the vehicle means rubber seals, fluid health, and the condition of the exhaust system demand careful scrutiny before purchase.
