2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KS16 FOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 62,280 miles passed, it introduced multiple critical advisories that require immediate attention. The presence of cracking rubber on both front tyres alongside thinning rear brake pads suggests that the previous owner is waiting for MOT failures to address basic wear rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile follows a consistent pattern typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between July 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 17,860 miles, indicating steady but low-intensity use. The six-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests a shift in the testing schedule, which often correlates with the increased pitting and corrosion noted on the front brake discs in the July 2022 record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay to identify the oil leak flagged in the March 2026 test. Although the tester classified it as not excessive, persistent leaks on Peugeot engines can lead to gasket failure if ignored. The recurring issues with worn tyres and uneven edges across 2024, 2025, and 2026 also indicate potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that are causing premature tyre degradation. The braking system requires a physical evaluation as the record shows a progression from pitted front discs to now-thin rear pads. Given the cracking noted on the front tyres, the structural integrity of the rubber is compromised and these should be replaced regardless of remaining tread depth. Ensure the technician checks for binding calipers which could contribute to the uneven wear patterns observed in the history.
