2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · DX65 WLD

This Peugeot 3008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 29 July 2025—just under a year ago at 61,858 miles—yielding a clean pass without advisories or defects. The sole anomaly in the record is the redundant retest on 24 July 2024, where the vehicle failed on the same day it was originally presented, a procedural quirk rather than a mechanical red flag. No recurring faults or advisories appear across the five tests, suggesting the vehicle has avoided major structural or drivetrain issues during its low-mileage service life. That said, the absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude gradual wear—particularly in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding—given the vehicle’s age and the typical 11-year lifespan of such components. The recorded mileage of 61,858 miles over 11 years equates to an average of approximately 5,600 miles annually, a figure well below the UK average for this vehicle class. The most notable gap occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by just 4,400 miles in a year, followed by a more typical 3,000-mile jump in 2023–2024. This pattern implies periods of inactivity, which could either reflect careful storage or neglect of basic maintenance like fluid top-ups and tyre pressure checks. The lack of advisories during these low-mileage periods suggests no critical corrosion or mechanical degradation was overlooked, but it also raises questions about whether minor issues were ignored due to infrequent use. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of rear coil springs and bushes—common points of failure in this model—and the integrity of brake calipers and discs for signs of binding or uneven wear. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not rule out corrosion in wheel arches or subframes, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Additionally, the engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, as low mileage does not preclude wear in seals or hoses. While the MOT record provides reassurance against overt mechanical failure, the buyer must verify that consumables like wiper blades, brake pads, and suspension dampers have been recently serviced, given the irregular mileage pattern.
