2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FN60 LVL

The 2010 Peugeot 3008 presents a stable and recently improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 62,797 miles passed with zero defects, a clean sweep that indicates the previous advisory items have been addressed. Earlier that same week on 9 December 2024 at 61,498 miles, the vehicle failed on headlamp aim, wiper effectiveness, and four tyres worn to the legal limit, but the retest the following day at the same mileage passed, suggesting prompt remedial work. The 2023 failure at 59,336 miles revealed more concerning faults, including a supplementary restraint system warning lamp, inoperative position and registration plate lamps, and a non-functioning nearside rear seat belt buckle, all of which were rectified before the same-day retest. This pattern shows a vehicle that has had intermittent lapses in basic upkeep but has been brought back to standard each time. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Covering roughly 3,925 miles per year over sixteen years, the 62,797 recorded miles suggest predominantly short urban journeys or extended periods of inactivity. The 2024 MOT recorded 61,498 miles and the 2025 test showed 62,797 miles, meaning just 1,299 miles were covered in the preceding twelve months. This extremely low annual accumulation raises questions about long-term fuel system condition, DPF health if diesel, and the condition of rubber components such as tyres and bushes that deteriorate with age and ozone exposure rather than use alone. No significant mileage gaps or anomalies appear in the record. Despite the cleanest recent result, the 2024 failure flags recurring tyre wear across all four corners and weak headlamp aim, which suggests alignment or suspension geometry may warrant closer inspection. The nearside rear tyre was noted as slightly damaged and perishing, an age-related concern that buyers should check across all four tyres and the spare. The 2023 seat belt buckle fault and SRS lamp, while cleared, justify a physical check of all belt mechanisms and a diagnostic scan to confirm no stored airbag or restraint system codes. Given the low mileage and age, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, remains essential. The brake pedal rubber was flagged as missing in 2024, so pedal condition and anti-slip integrity should be verified during any test drive.
