2009 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · HN59 NPD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of mechanical instability between 2020 and 2023. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 161,298 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting that previous issues with emissions and suspension components have been addressed. This follows a successful pass in June 2024 at 97,884 miles, which cleared faults involving a track rod end and tyre tread depth identified during the failure on 12 June 2024. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. A significant period of high usage is evident between the June 2024 test at 97,884 miles and the May 2025 test at 161,298 miles, where the vehicle covered 63,414 miles in less than a year. This sudden increase in mileage suggests a period of intensive use, which may have accelerated the wear on consumable components despite the clean MOT result in 2025. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the front suspension and steering geometry. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of play in the track rod ends and ball joints, with faults appearing in 2020, 2022, and 2024. While these were resolved for the 2025 test, the frequency of these failures indicates that the steering components are a known wear area for this vehicle. The presence of an oil leak and pitted brake discs in the March 2023 test warrants a check for any residual seepage or uneven braking performance. Emissions and cooling systems also require scrutiny. The vehicle failed multiple times between 2019 and 2023 due to high carbon monoxide readings, lambda sensor issues, and a constantly running fan. Although the 2025 record is clear, the history of engine management light malfunctions and exhaust irregularities suggests the owner has had to manage complex sensor or cooling issues. Ensuring the cooling system is pressurized and the exhaust system is free of leaks is advisable before purchase.
