2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FX16 OJS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 75,624 miles, the tester flagged a worn offside front brake disc and play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This marks a departure from the clean results seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their typical service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 15,335 miles, representing a steady usage profile rather than erratic accumulation or long periods of neglect. The intervals between MOT tests are regular, generally occurring annually with 3,000 to 4,000 miles driven between tests, which suggests a consistent driving habit despite the recent appearance of mechanical advisories. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front-side suspension geometry, as the ball joint noted in the 2025 test suggests potential degradation of the control arm bushings and linkages. The braking system also requires scrutiny, given the history of thin inner rear pads recorded in 2022 and the worn front disc identified in 2025. It is necessary to verify the thickness of all remaining pads and check for uneven disc wear or sticking calipers to ensure these issues have been properly addressed. No structural corrosion or significant emissions failures have appeared in the record, focusing the risk entirely on these standard wear items.
