2017 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · GG17 PKG

This 2017 Peugeot 3008 presents an exceptionally clean DVSA roadworthiness record, with no advisories or component defects recorded across any of its documented MOT tests. The most recent assessment on 19 November 2025 resulted in a clean pass, continuing a pattern of successive pass certificates stretching back through February 2025, February 2024, and February 2023. A single failure is on file from 10 February 2023, but notably it carried no recorded advisory or defect entries, suggesting it was either a minor administrative or emissions issue that was rectified before the successful retest just eleven days later on 21 February 2023. The absence of recurring advisories across four consecutive tests means there is no documented pattern of emerging component wear, corrosion, or degradation on the vehicle's MOT-visible structure, running gear, or braking systems. With 105,627 miles accumulated over approximately nine years, this 3008 is averaging around 11,736 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a family crossover of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT timeline that would indicate prolonged periods off the road, and the mileage progression between tests appears consistent rather than erratic, suggesting steady regular use rather than either long-term storage or unusually high motorway mileage. Mechanically, this level of annual accumulation is sufficient to ensure consumables such as brake pads, discs, and tyres have been exercised regularly, which generally benefits the braking system and suspension components by preventing corrosion on static surfaces. However, the mileage is also substantial enough that non-MOT-tested items such as the timing chain, dual-clutch automatic gearbox (if fitted), and engine internal wear should be considered. Given the complete absence of advisory entries, the typical concerns associated with higher-mileage Peugeots of this generation cannot be specifically verified from the MOT data alone. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention during a test drive to the well-documented PSA 1.5 and 1.6 BlueHDi diesel timing belt or chain condition, listening for any diesel knock on cold start and watching for excessive blue smoke from the exhaust during the first few minutes of running. The EAT6 automatic gearbox, where fitted, should be evaluated for any shunt or hesitation between ratios, particularly when pulling away in second gear, and the suspension should be tested over uneven surfaces for knocking from the front lower wishbones and anti-roll bar bushes, which are common wear items on these vehicles. Steering feel should be checked for any vagueness or clonking over speed bumps, as the front subframe mountings on the 3008 can deteriorate with this mileage. A thorough physical inspection should complement the test drive, particularly checking for oil leaks from the diesel engine sump and EGR cooler area, inspecting the condition of the intercooler boost hoses for splitting, and confirming that the electronic parking brake releases cleanly without warning messages. The rear brake calipers should be examined for any seizing, given the vehicle's mileage, and a diagnostic scan should be performed to check for any stored fault codes relating to the AdBlue system, diesel particulate filter regeneration history, and the sophisticated i-Cockpit infotainment system. While the MOT history provides considerable reassurance regarding the vehicle's structural and statutory roadworthiness, the mechanical complexity of this model means a pre-purchase inspection by a Peugeot specialist or independent garage familiar with PSA platforms remains highly advisable before committing to the purchase.
