2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · GF62 VBL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and neglected consumables. While the car passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 102,561 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding the suspension and tyres. The presence of play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint and the nearside front track rod end, combined with all four tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven inside edge wear, indicates a lack of recent preventative maintenance or wheel alignment checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle used for moderate annual city travel, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 15,000 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the previous year. The records are regular, though the failure in January 2024 at 79,986 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring was rectified quickly, as evidenced by a clean pass two days later at nearly the same mileage with no further recorded defects. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front-end geometry, as the consistent inner edge wear on all four tyres suggests a significant misalignment or worn suspension components. The flagged ball joints and track rod end will require replacement to prevent steering instability and further rapid tyre degradation. Given the previous fractured coil spring, the remaining springs should be visually inspected for signs of corrosion or stress fractures, as failure in one unit often precedes others in high-age models of this age.
