Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Given the age of this 1.6L diesel engine, the most critical item to verify in the service history is the timing belt and water pump replacement interval, as these are vital for engine longevity. You should also confirm that the tyres flagged as perishing or worn in 2023 have since been replaced, as this is a common wear item for this model.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle rather than the mileage. Ensure you check for any signs of diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues if the car has been used primarily for very short trips, which is possible given the low annual mileage recorded.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, providing a good balance between fuel economy and performance for a vehicle of this size. Insurance groups for the 3008 are typically moderate, making it a cost-effective family crossover.
Annual costs will include road tax based on the 2012 CO2 emissions bracket and routine maintenance. Due to the vehicle's age, you should budget for occasional wear-and-tear repairs to suspension components and electronics.
Pay close attention to the front steering and suspension components; while the track rod end dust cover failure in March 2026 was resolved, it indicates a point of wear. Check the condition of all four tyres for cracking or perishing, referencing the 2023 MOT advisories regarding the nearside rear and offside tyres.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clouding or failure and check the drive shaft joints for leaks or wear, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider 3008 model population in aggregate data.
This silver 2012 Peugeot 3008 has covered 62,792 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT record from 2023 to 2026 shows consistent passes, with the only failure occurring in March 2026 due to a damaged track rod end dust cover. The vehicle's low annual usage is a notable highlight of its history.
The Peugeot 3008 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.0%, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and drive shaft joints.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain and carbon issuesSerious
High risk of chain stretch and intake carbon build-up.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) FailureSerious
The electrically-assisted steering column can develop intermittent faults or fail completely, causing heavy steering. This is a well-known PSA Group issue across multiple models of this era.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 and 2.0 HDi engines are prone to DPF blockage, particularly if used predominantly for short urban journeys. A blocked filter triggers limp mode and can cascade into turbo and injector damage.
