2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · EO67 WUE

A history of drivetrain joint degradation, heavy brake disc corrosion, and recent tyre wear defines the mechanical record of this Peugeot 3008. The vehicle successfully passed its latest MOT inspection on 15 August 2026 at 78,407 miles, with advisories issued for both the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a temporary roadworthiness failure in August 2025 due to split constant velocity joint boots on both front drive shafts, which allowed dirt ingress before being rectified for a retest. The overall record demonstrates a recurring pattern of consumable component wear, including severe inner-face brake disc pitting noted in earlier years, alongside periods of defect-free testing. Accumulating 78,407 miles over nine years equates to an average annual mileage of roughly 8,700 miles, which is standard for a crossover of this age. The testing history shows regular, incremental mileage accumulation without long periods of disuse or unrecorded gaps. Mechanically, this consistent operational profile reduces the likelihood of static corrosion or seize-related failures associated with laid-up vehicles, but it means that drivetrain, suspension, and braking assemblies have experienced typical operational fatigue consistent with mid-distance commuter driving. Given the history of split front drive shaft boots in 2025, a prospective buyer must carefully evaluate the condition of the front constant velocity joints. If the vehicle was driven with split boots, road grit may have contaminated the joints before the gaiters were replaced. On a test drive, full-lock low-speed manoeuvres should be conducted to listen for rhythmic clicking or knocking noises from the front axle, which indicates internal joint wear. The braking system also requires careful physical inspection; while no brake advisories were recorded in the most recent tests, earlier inspections flagged severe corrosion and minimal pad contact on the inner faces of the rear discs. Inspect the discs through the wheels for heavy lipping or uneven surface scoring, and check for pedal pulsation or steering wheel wobble under braking. The rear tyre edge wear identified during the August 2026 inspection warrants immediate attention. Uneven wear across the tyre tread shoulder often points to tracking misadjustment or wear in the rear suspension trailing arm bushes and control arms. Ensure the vehicle tracks straight without pulling to one side on a flat road, and budget for a pair of replacement rear tyres alongside.
