2012 Peugeot 3008 Active HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · KV12 ALU

This Peugeot 3008 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 6 January 2026 at 153,289 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a four year trend of first time passes, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without requiring corrective work between tests. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a fourteen year old vehicle. Between the September 2021 test at 116,208 miles and the January 2026 test at 153,289 miles, the car covered 37,081 miles. This averages to roughly 9,270 miles per year over the last few years, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across five consecutive tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Usually, a car with over 150,000 miles would show flags for worn suspension bushes, thinning brake discs, or minor corrosion on the chassis. The lack of recorded defects suggests either a very diligent maintenance regime where components were replaced before they failed inspection or a lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear areas that MOT testers sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for leaks, as these components naturally degrade at this mileage. Inspect the brake pedal feel for any signs of fading and examine the underside for surface rust, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, to ensure the structural integrity matches the clean paper record.
