2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FN60 LVX

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 7 May 2026 at 105,106 miles, valid for twelve months. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a recurring pattern of minor oil leaks and gradual corrosion accumulation rather than a clean bill of health. The most recent pass came with an advisory for an oil leak deemed not excessive, a fault that also appeared in the January 2025 test. This suggests a persistent, low-level seep that has not worsened to a point of failure but warrants monitoring. The January 2025 test also flagged various corroded suspension and steering components, indicating that underbody deterioration is an ongoing concern on this sixteen-year-old vehicle. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2010 vehicle. Between the February 2023 test at 78,073 miles and the January 2025 test at 96,196 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 18,123 miles in just under two years, averaging around 9,000 miles annually during that period. The subsequent jump to 105,106 miles by May 2026 represents approximately 8,910 miles in sixteen months, a slight deceleration. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record, and the overall annualised figure of roughly 6,569 miles aligns with normal mixed-use driving. The record is sufficiently detailed to draw reasonable conclusions about wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise a thorough underbody inspection, focusing on suspension bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and coil springs. The January 2023 test noted a corroded offside rear coil spring and slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, while the 2025 test flagged corrosion across various suspension and steering components. These advisories point to long-term exposure-related deterioration rather than acute failure, but corroded coil springs can fracture without warning and corroded steering components affect handling precision. The offside front CV boot was severely deteriorated in 2023 and the nearside front boot was split in the 2025 failure, so both driveshaft joints should be examined for play, clicking under load, and grease contamination. Brake system components also demand close attention. The January 2025 failure cited worn and pitted brake discs across all four corners, along with front inner pads wearing thin. Although the vehicle passed in May 2026, pitted discs and pad wear advisories in 2023 suggest the braking system has been working hard relative to mileage. A buyer should check disc thickness, pad depth, and caliper function, particularly at the rear where binding has been a historical concern. The recurring oil leak advisory, while minor, should be traced to its source, whether that is a rocker cover gasket, camshaft seal, or oil cooler pipe, as seeps can accelerate into significant leaks on higher-mileage engines.
