2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KM67 SFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 73,024 miles showed a failure due to a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the appearance of a CV boot failure suggests that rubber components are not being monitored until they reach a point of inspection-related failure. At 73,024 miles over nine years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical domestic usage for its age. There is a notable gap in mileage accumulation between October 2022 and September 2024, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in twenty months. This period of higher use coincides with the first appearance of mechanical wear in the record, such as the pitted front brake discs and tyre issues noted in the 2024 test, following two years of clean records during the lower-mileage phase. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front drive area to ensure the replacement CV boot has not resulted in secondary damage to the axle or gearbox seal. The history of pitted and scored brake discs in 2024 indicates the braking system may be neglected, so a thorough check of the remaining pads and calipers is necessary. Given the recurring issues with tyres worn to the legal limit in 2020 and 2024, the previous owner has historically delayed basic consumable replacements until they necessitated an MOT failure or advisory.
