Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the MOT records show a recurring theme of wear on the offside front suspension arm and ball joint between 2024 and 2026. You should also request evidence of the repairs carried out in 2024, specifically regarding the central exhaust leak after the DPF filter and the CV boot replacement, to ensure these were addressed with quality parts.
Given the diesel engine and the age of the vehicle, check the service history for oil changes and DPF maintenance. Negotiate the price based on the upcoming need to address the offside front suspension arm pin or bush, which remained an advisory on the most recent pass in July 2026.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer commutes. However, as a 2016 model, it will fall into a standard diesel tax bracket and a mid-range insurance group for a family SUV.
Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate, though the MOT history suggests a susceptibility to suspension and braking wear. Between fuel, road tax, insurance, and the likely need for suspension bushings and brake maintenance, you should budget for a consistent annual spend.
Focus your inspection on the offside front suspension; the July 2026 MOT specifically noted a worn suspension arm pin or bush. Check for any knocking sounds or instability when turning the wheel at low speeds. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring, as these were flagged as worn in 2024.
Check the condition of the CV boots on the front drive shafts to ensure the 2024 split has been permanently resolved. Finally, verify the operation of all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps and headlamp alignment, which were points of failure in the 2026 test.
This grey 2016 Peugeot 3008 diesel has covered 84,511 miles. Its MOT history shows a pattern of failures, most notably in June 2024 which required repairs to the exhaust, CV boot, and tyres. More recently, in July 2026, it failed on headlamp aim, a registration lamp, and suspension wear before passing.
The Peugeot 3008 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with common failures typically involving tyres and headlamps, both of which are present in this vehicle's history.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain and carbon issuesSerious
High risk of chain stretch and intake carbon build-up.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) FailureSerious
The electrically-assisted steering column can develop intermittent faults or fail completely, causing heavy steering. This is a well-known PSA Group issue across multiple models of this era.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 and 2.0 HDi engines are prone to DPF blockage, particularly if used predominantly for short urban journeys. A blocked filter triggers limp mode and can cascade into turbo and injector damage.
