2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · DA61 HKP

The Peugeot 3008 passed its most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 52,294 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving: the vehicle failed twice in early 2025 and again in March 2026, but each failure carried no recorded defects, and the subsequent retests cleared it without advisory work. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition across the visible history. Recorded mileage sits at 52,294 against a 2012 build, an average of roughly 3,735 miles per year. The DVSA log shows 45,329 miles on 12 March 2024, 49,260 on 27 March 2025, and 52,231 on 31 March 2026, a steady annual gain near 3,000 to 3,900 miles with no abrupt accumulation. Low use of this order often means long standing periods, yet the clean pass sheets suggest the previous keeper addressed any pre-test issues promptly rather than neglecting consumables. The repeated failures with zero defects logged point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than hard mechanical fault. Still, a buyer should confirm in person that suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs show no latent corrosion or wear the clean records did not capture. Standing time at this mileage raises the risk of perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres. Given the absence of advisories across five years of tests, structural integrity and exhaust emissions appear sound on paper. A physical inspection should nonetheless check for underbody rust and verify the braking system is free from binding calipers after the car's low-mileage dormancy.
