2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · DP11 AXC

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. While the most recent test on 23 April 2026 at 96,628 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged multiple advisories including pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear, alongside worn suspension arm bushes and a worn Macpherson strut pin. These issues suggest that while the car is currently legal, the mechanical condition is degrading as components reach the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The records show steady usage, with the distance increasing from 42,375 miles in July 2018 to 96,628 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which provides a reliable longitudinal view of the vehicle's condition. However, the frequency of failures related to consumables suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the front and rear suspension systems. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of worn suspension arm bushes and ball joints, with failures noted in March 2023, April 2024, and advisories appearing again in April 2026. The recent advisory regarding the nearside front upper Macpherson strut pin indicates that the suspension is entering a phase where more significant and costly repairs will be necessary. The braking system also requires immediate physical inspection. The April 2026 advisories for scored and pitted discs on both axles imply that the braking surfaces are deteriorating. Coupled with the history of tyre-related failures, such as the exposed cords noted in July 2020 and the low tread depths seen in 2018, 2023, and 2025, the records indicate a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. An inspection of the current tyre condition and the thickness of the brake pads is essential.
