2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KN17 TYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension wear. While it passed the latest test in February 2026 at 104,097 miles, the tester identified slight play in the nearside front track rod end and both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. This represents a departure from the three clean records seen between 2023 and 2025, indicating that front suspension components are now reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation, with 8,382 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by over 16,000 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which accounts for the gradual degradation of rubber-bonded joints and mechanical components noted in the recent advisories. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the track rod and anti-roll bar links. Because these components have been flagged simultaneously, it is likely they require collective replacement to restore steering precision and prevent knocking. Additionally, while the 2022 defects regarding worn rear discs and thin front pads were cleared in subsequent tests, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure maintenance has remained proactive given the 50,000 miles travelled since those specific faults were recorded.
