2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV63 PKC

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring mechanical issues and repeated failures during MOT inspections. While the most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 69,815 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed earlier that same day due to a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and a non-functional stop lamp. The record shows a pattern of neglecting minor electrical and wear-related faults, as seen in the 01 November 2024 failure involving stop lamps and tyres. The mileage profile indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,370 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The recorded distance grew from 55,995 miles in September 2023 to 62,533 miles in November 2024, and finally reached 69,815 miles by November 2025. This low-mileage usage often correlates with vehicles that sit idle for extended periods, which can contribute to the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the braking components. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as pitted and scored brake discs have appeared as advisories or failure points in every recorded test since September 2023. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front discs as worn or scored in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This suggests the discs are not being replaced alongside pads or are suffering from moisture-induced corrosion due to infrequent use. The offside front track rod end also showed play in the November 2025 test, indicating emerging suspension wear. The recent failure regarding the split drive shaft CV boot necessitates a physical check of the drivetrain to ensure no grease leakage or joint damage has occurred. Given the history of stop lamp failures in both 2024 and 2025, the electrical integrity of the rear lighting cluster should be verified. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the recurring nature of the brake disc deterioration and the emergence of steering component play suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance.
