2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · HJ62 LDA

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-03 recorded a PASSED result with 66,496 miles. Key issues included a nearside rear tyre with a nail repairable in the middle of the tread and an oil leak suspected to originate from the transmission, requiring further investigation. This suggests potential fluid loss or seal degradation, which could indicate aging components or improper maintenance. Tyre-related defects have been a recurring theme since 2021, with front tyres consistently showing wear close to legal limits or on the edges. By 2023, offside rear tyres showed damaged sidewalls, and steering rack play was noted. These issues imply possible alignment problems, uneven tyre wear, or suspension component fatigue. The 2024 MOT added another rear tyre sidewall damage, while 2025’s nail repair highlights ongoing tyre vulnerability. The trend of tyre and steering issues appears stable but persistent, with no significant improvement. The oil leak in 2025 introduces a new concern, though it was described as “not excessive.” The low mileage (approx. 4,750 miles annually) suggests the vehicle may have seen light use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to rubber component hardening, fluid stagnation, or electrical system issues.
