2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · DV61 UTA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. The most recent test in February 2026 at 148,959 miles passed with minor advisories related to a partial bulb failure and headlamp condition. This represents an improvement over the early 2025 period where the vehicle failed due to a missing anti-slip provision and a suspension component. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure. At 148,959 miles over 15 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between February 2024 and 2025, and another 9,200 miles between February 2025 and 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps keep internal seals and components lubric. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure highlighted an excessively worn offside front ball joint and a perished anti-roll bar dust cover. The record also notes a fluctuating offside front service brake in 2024, indicating thinning or warped brake discs which should be checked for thickness and vibration under heavy braking. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
