2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · EX12 VJC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of passes following minor electrical failures. The most recent test on 31 January 2024 at 106,738 miles resulted in a clean pass after correcting an initial failure for an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. This indicates that the previous owner addresses basic lighting issues immediately to maintain compliance, while the core mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits across the last several years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 13,119 miles in early 2015 to over 106,000 miles in early 2024. There is a notable gap of 11,772 miles between February 2022 and January 2023, followed by a further increase of 11,095 miles in the following year. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to typical wear cycles which often helps prevent the seal and component degradation associated with vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. While the MOT record is free of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or structural rust, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of these high-wear areas. At over 100,000 miles, rubber components in the suspension geometry and shock absorbers are often showing signs of cracking or weeping. Since the record does not flag binding calipers or uneven wear, the inspector should specifically check for lateral pad wear or thinning of the brake discs to ensure the maintenance history extends beyond the minimum legal requirements. The recurring bulb failures suggest a minor wiring or bulb life issue, which warrants a quick check of all external lighting units to prevent immediate failures after purchase.
