2010 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · KM60 AEE

The vehicle last passed its MOT on 17 January 2024 at 113 557 miles, emerging with a series of advisories rather than failures. The test recorded a slightly damaged offside obligatory mirror, non‑functioning rear position and central stop lamps, front tyres worn to the legal limit, front brake discs showing pitting, and inner pads thinning. These items are listed as advisories, indicating the car was roadworthy but required attention. The preceding test two days earlier had failed, mainly due to similar lighting faults, excessive track‑rod end play, and a weak parking brake. The rapid correction from failure to pass demonstrates an improving maintenance pattern after a series of issues in 2023, with the most recent outcome stabilising the car’s roadworthiness. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 7 100 miles per year over the 16‑year life of the 2010 Peugeot 3008, a rate that aligns with typical usage for this age group. MOT records show an annual testing rhythm, with occasional paired entries on the same day (e.g., 12 January 2023) reflecting prompt repairs rather than extended gaps. The mileage does not indicate unusually rapid wear, and the spacing between tests has remained consistent, suggesting regular owner compliance. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the recurring mechanical concerns highlighted in the history. The front brake discs and inner pads show progressive wear; a close check for scoring, corrosion, and thickness is essential. Suspension integrity demands scrutiny of the front lower arm bushes, track‑rod ends for excessive play, and the anti‑roll bar linkage, all of which have been flagged as worn. Tyre condition remains critical—front tyres are near the legal tread limit, and rear tyres have shown similar wear. Lighting circuits should be examined for the rear position lamps, central and rear stop lamps, and mirror mounting, as these have repeatedly failed. Finally, verify the parking brake’s effectiveness and inspect the coil spring for any fracture evidence, given the historic breakage recorded in early 2021.
