2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · FY63 XBC

The 2013 Peugeot 3008 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its most recent MOT cycles, with the final test on 27 February 2025 at 108,378 miles passing without any recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures or advisory-level issues during the last two annual tests. The absence of defects in the February 2025 test—just five months ago—indicates the vehicle remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, though an independent inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear or deferred maintenance. Mileage progression reveals a consistent pattern of approximately 8,300 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests aligns with the annual MOT cycle, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage at the last test (108,378) suggests regular use without extreme wear, though the lack of service records means potential maintenance lapses could have occurred between MOTs. Notably, the February 2024 test appears duplicated in the record—one passing and one failing—likely a data anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that often fail silently or degrade over time. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or fluid leaks, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven through wet or heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked for corrosion or damage, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related faults can escalate if ignored.
