2013 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · FX63 EDK

The 2013 Peugeot 3008 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests spanning July 2022 to July 2025. The most recent test on 2025-07-16—just ten months prior to today—confirms the vehicle passed without fail, despite an unusual duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). This suggests the tester may have mistakenly logged the same result twice, but the absence of any advisories or defects in prior years indicates no recurring mechanical issues were overlooked. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural checks remains consistent, though the lack of advisories in earlier tests means no prior warnings about suspension wear, brake binding, or corrosion were documented. The recorded mileage of 87,581 miles over 13 years reflects an average of approximately 6,737 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation, with steady increments of around 6,000 miles between each MOT (e.g., 6,018 miles between 2022 and 2023, 6,982 miles between 2023 and 2024). This pattern suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for prolonged periods, which could otherwise accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. However, the absence of advisories in earlier tests means no prior indications of excessive wear or neglect were flagged, leaving the true condition of high-wear components ambiguous. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these are intact, as they often fail without immediate MOT failings. Brake discs and calipers should also be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced hard braking or off-road use. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination for corrosion, as this is a common silent failure in older Peugeot models. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as these can degrade emissions compliance and structural rigidity over time.
