2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FL61 FGV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT history. The most recent test on November 2, 2024 at 123,726 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in late January 2024 at 119,711 miles, the immediate retest just seven days later suggests a specific, rectified issue rather than a chronic trend of systemic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Data shows a period of higher activity between February 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered 3,206 miles in just eleven months. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 4,000 miles over ten months leading up to the November 2024 test. This steady usage suggests the car has been driven regularly, which often helps prevent issues such as perished seals or brake-related corrosion associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the cause of the January 2024 failure, although the record does not specify the exact component. Given the age and mileage of this Peugeot 3008, close attention is required regarding the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common points of wear at this interval. The inspector should also check for developing structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as the lack of recent advisories does not guarantee the absence of surface rust on a vehicle of this vintage.
