2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · CX16 HKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 60,004 miles, the immediate failure just one mile prior highlights multiple mechanical lapses. The presence of an inoperative engine malfunction indicator and a split offside front drive shaft CV boot alongside a worn nearside front tyre suggests that critical components were only addressed when they threatened an MOT failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals. At a mileage of 60,004 miles over a ten-year period, the vehicle averages approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-useage patterns. There is a significant gap in records between March 2023 at 45,906 miles and July 2024 at 54,701 miles, where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in just sixteen months. This spike in usage likely contributed to the stress on suspension components, as evidenced by the fractured nearside and rear coil springs during the July 2024 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the failure of two coil springs in quick succession indicates potential component fatigue or excessive impact on the assembly. The offside front drive shaft CV boot should be checked for grease leakage or further tearing, which would lead to premature driveshaft joint failure. Furthermore, the previously reported engine malfunction light from the 2025 failure requires a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden engine fault codes remain active that were simply cleared for the test.
