2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FE62 HFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 92,797 miles, the car passed after an initial failure for a non-functional lamp and play in the offside front track rod end. While these mechanical faults were rectified, the appearance of worn front brake discs during the same test indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,138 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 82,438 miles and January 2025 at 87,257 miles, the car covered 4,819 miles, showing a slight dip in the annual average. However, the 5,540 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026 suggest a return to normal usage levels, which explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end failure suggests that other bushes and ball joints may be nearing the end of their service life. The lipped brake discs noted in the 2026 record require a check for thickness and surface condition to ensure they are not thinning prematurely. Additionally, the scratched windscreen should be monitored for chips that could propagate under thermal stress, as this was flagged as an advisory in the most recent pass.
