2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FN11 YYL

The overall roadworthiness of this 2011 Peugeot 3008 presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass recorded on 31 March 2026 at 118,506 miles. The MOT history shows no defects across the majority of recent tests, indicating the vehicle has met minimum safety standards consistently. However, the record contains an anomaly on that same March 2026 date, listing a failure with zero defects documented. This typically indicates a retest following an administrative issue or a system recording error rather than a mechanical breakdown, as a genuine failure requires documented defects. The preceding tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 also passed without any advisories, suggesting the previous owner addressed issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the March 2023 test at 101,511 miles and the March 2024 test at 107,408 miles, the vehicle covered 5,897 miles. The subsequent year to March 2025 saw 6,521 miles added, reaching 113,929 miles. The final recorded jump to 118,506 miles by March 2026 accounts for 4,577 miles over that twelve-month period. This steady, sub-7,000-mile annual accumulation points to regular, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high mileage, which typically results in even wear across consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a fifteen-year-old vehicle approaching 120,000 miles. Buyers should closely examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounting points, as corrosion can develop unseen by a standard MOT unless it becomes severe. The rear brake discs and calipers on this model are prone to corrosion and binding, a defect that might not manifest during a brief test but causes dragging and premature wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs also warrant scrutiny, as deterioration here causes knocks and uneven tyre wear that testers only flag when severely degraded. Checking the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the condition of the tyres for uneven wear will provide a clearer picture of how well this Peugeot has been maintained beyond its basic legal requirements.
