2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · KF14 EKY

The Peugeot 3008 presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past four MOT cycles, with only one minor advisory noted in February 2025 at 86,584 miles. The most recent test in February 2026 at 91,903 miles confirmed no defects, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained adequately to pass without major issues. The sole recorded advisory—a slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint—was flagged just over a year ago and has not reappeared, indicating either a correction or a non-progressive condition. This consistency implies the vehicle’s core mechanical systems, including brakes, steering, and structural integrity, have remained reliable under normal driving conditions. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,659 miles annually over its 12-year lifespan. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or infrequent use; the mileage increments between tests are steady, with roughly 5,300–6,500 miles covered annually. The last MOT, conducted just five months ago, confirms the car remains in active service without extended periods of disuse, which could otherwise accelerate wear on components like tyres, suspension bushes, or brake fluid seals. For a prospective buyer, the suspension should be the primary focus, particularly the front lower ball joint on the offside (driver’s side) where play was noted in 2025. A thorough inspection should verify whether this has been addressed, as worn ball joints can lead to uneven tyre wear, steering vagueness, or premature failure of adjacent components like control arm bushes. Beyond this, the absence of recurring advisories or failures in brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion suggests no immediate red flags. However, given the vehicle’s age, a check of the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and brake binding potential—especially on the rear—would be prudent, as these areas often degrade gradually without being captured in MOT tests. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be confirmed, as these are consumables not reflected in the MOT history.
