2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · DS14 HBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep, as the car failed just six days prior to that test due to excessively worn nearside and offside front ball joints. The immediate pass following these repairs indicates a functional approach to safety-critical suspension components, though the owner only addressed these issues once they failed. At 100,770 miles over twelve years, the Peugeot 3008 has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use between test intervals, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 4,200 miles thereafter. This steady mileage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the cumulative mileage places natural strain on age-related components like rubber bushings and braking assemblies. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure of the ball joints and the 2024 advisory regarding inner edge wear on the offside front tyre suggest potential alignment issues or worn shocks. The buyer should also verify the front brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, as the 2023 test noted pitting and scoring on both sides. Additionally, ensure the engine cover is securely fastened, as this was previously flagged as loose and damaged in 2024.
