2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CV66 FFJ

The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the vehicle's history from 2022 onwards, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. While a failure was noted on the same date as the most recent pass, the absence of any documented defects or recurring advisories suggests that any issues encountered were minor and successfully addressed to ensure the vehicle met all legal requirements. The recorded mileage of 57,040 miles indicates that this Peugeot 3008 has been driven approximately 5,700 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the typical UK average, suggesting the vehicle has seen light usage or has spent considerable time stationary. While low mileage is generally a positive indicator of reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain, it necessitates a different inspection focus, as components can degrade due to age and inactivity rather than purely through mechanical friction. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, you must perform a thorough physical inspection for age-related deterioration. Inspect the tyres carefully for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds harden over time even if the tread depth is substantial. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, both of which are common in vehicles that are not driven frequently. During your test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might indicate perished rubber bushes or worn dampers, and feel for any brake shudder that could indicate uneven disc wear or corrosion. Furthermore, it is essential to verify that the vehicle has adhered to a time-based servicing schedule rather than just a mileage-based one. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and the replacement of essential fluids such as brake fluid and coolant, which degrade chemically over time. Given the low usage, also inspect the 12V battery for signs of age and check the engine bay for any weeping from seals or hoses that may have dried out and become brittle. Confirm that the service book stamps align with the low mileage to ensure the vehicle has been maintained correctly during its periods of inactivity.
