2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · EX10 FVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding front-end suspension components. While the most recent test in February 2025 at 112,719 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for a defective windscreen washer and worn front suspension arm bushes. The persistence of the suspension arm issues across three consecutive years back to 2023 suggests that the previous owner only addressed these faults once they reached a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 112,719 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for an SUV of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,800 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,800 miles in the year preceding that. This steady rate of travel often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber components, which explains the recurring issues with bushes and links noted in the MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the bushes have been flagged as deteriorating or splitting since 2023. The tester noted a fractured offside front coil spring in early 2024, indicating the suspension system is under significant stress or reaching the end of life. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak has remained a constant advisory since at least 2023, which requires a close look to ensure the source is not originating from a critical seal that could lead to a future failure.
