2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · EY61 LGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 114,194 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a stable period of maintenance following a history of frequent reactive repairs. While the car has shown a pattern of addressing faults only upon testing failure, the most recent clean certificate suggests that the immediate mechanical and safety concerns have been rectified and maintained for the present. At 114,194 miles over 15 years, the Peugeot 3008 averages approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The record shows consistent annual intervals, such as the 14,000 miles driven between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary time which can lead to seal degradation or fluid ingress, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber and plastic components are nearing their natural lifespan. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have shown multiple recurring failures. In August 2023 at 91,762 miles, both front coil springs were fractured, a structural failure that often indicates heavy use or aged components. The braking system required significant attention in August 2022, where the tester found thin pads, pitted discs, and imbalanced braking. The buyer should check for uneven pad wear, vibration through the pedal, or knocking from the front end during a test drive to ensure these previous repairs are holding. The maintenance history also highlights a trend of neglecting minor consumables and electricals until they fail. Issues with the windscreen washers, wipers, and light bulbs appeared repeatedly between 2019 and 2024. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for a nearside rear tyre below the legal tread limit suggests that tyre replacement was deferred. An in inspection of the current tread depth across all four tyres and the functionality of all exterior lighting is essential to ensure the current owner is not following the same reactive maintenance pattern as previous ones.
