Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a diesel crossover, provided the recent MOT failures are addressed. The vehicle shows a consistent testing pattern with a clean recent pass.
When inspecting this specific 1.6L diesel unit, verify that the recent MOT failures from January 2025 and January 2026 were resolved with documented repairs. Although the MOT records do not list the specific defect types for those failures, you should ask the seller for the exact reasons for the failures and the subsequent repair invoices to ensure transparency.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars during your physical inspection. These are the most common failure points for this model across the wider fleet. Additionally, check the service history to see how the diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals which are crucial for this engine size.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, likely offering competitive fuel economy for long-distance driving. However, buyers should check the specific Euro emissions standard to understand potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in UK cities.
Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 3008 typically align with mid-range crossover expectations. You should budget for regular servicing and potential wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, sit in the moderate bracket.
Start by inspecting the lighting system, specifically the headlamps, as this is a high-frequency failure point for this model. Check the tyres for adequate tread depth and even wear, and inspect the anti-roll bars and suspension components for any signs of play or excessive noise during a test drive.
Because this vehicle has covered 81,063 miles, which is significantly higher than the 7,680-mile annual average for the model aggregate, you should also inspect the brake discs and pads for wear. Ensure there are no leaks visible around the engine bay, particularly given the diesel fuel type.
This 2016 white Peugeot 3008 features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 81,063 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,680 per year, the MOT history shows a pattern of immediate re-tests following failures. The most recent record from early 2026 shows no defects, suggesting any previous issues were rectified.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80% MOT pass rate, with headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent reasons for failure.
