2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · GF13 ACJ

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean record of passes, though the most recent MOT data is significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 19 April 2022 at 103,263 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. However, as today is 17 July 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for over four years. This gap makes the current roadworthiness status unknown and represents a high risk for any buyer. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,943 miles per year. The distance increased from 88,812 miles in May 2020 to 103,263 miles by April 2022. This indicates a period of regular use followed by a complete cessation of recorded mileage and testing for the last 52 months. Such a long period of inactivity often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components. While the 2020, 2021, and 2022 tests flagged no defects or advisories, the prolonged standing period likely introduced new issues. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframes, as moisture traps can cause significant rust when a car sits idle. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and check that the tyres have not developed flat spots or cracks. The buyer should also verify the engine's current health. Long-term dormancy can lead to perished rubber hoses, leaked seals, and contaminated fluids. A full service is necessary to address the lack of recent maintenance. Given the clean history prior to 2022, the vehicle was likely well-kept, but the four-year gap in testing overrides those previous positives.
