2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · GV10 EVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in October 2025 at 60,635 miles passed, the tester identified new defects including a leaking nearside C/V boot and a failed daytime running lamp. These follow a recurring issue with the offside front brake disc which was first flagged in 2024, suggesting the owner is only addressing components once they reach a failure threshold. At 16 years old, the recorded 60,635 miles represent an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage often implies the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components. The mileage accumulation is consistent in recent years, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, but the transition from clean records in 2021 and 2022 to multiple advisories recently indicates the vehicle is beginning to show of age-related wear and neglect. A buyer must inspect the nearside front C/V boot for the extent of the grease leak, as a failing boot quickly leads to expensive axle replacement. The offside front brake disc has been noted as pitted and scored for two consecutive years; the buyer should verify if this has finally been replaced to ensure adequate braking performance and to prevent caliper binding. Furthermore, the 2023 report of uneven tyre wear on both front corners suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes which warrants a physical check of the front geometry and control arms to ensure there is no structural or persistent mechanical fault.
