2016 Peugeot 3008 Allure Blue HDI S/S 1.6L Heavy oil · KV16 SVO

This 2016 Peugeot 3008 Allure Blue HDi presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 12 December 2025 at 90,554 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects, advisories, or failures. That result is not an isolated one. The vehicle has passed every single recorded MOT without a single fault, stretching back to at least March 2020. There is no worsening trend, no recurring defect, and no evidence of deferred maintenance in the official DVSA record. The maintenance trajectory is flat and consistently strong. The mileage pattern tells a coherent story. Between the March 2020 test at 43,052 miles and the December 2022 test at 66,751 miles, the car covered roughly 23,700 miles in under three years, averaging close to 8,000 miles annually. From December 2022 to December 2024, the car added approximately 20,700 miles, maintaining a similar pace. Then, between the December 2024 test at 77,479 miles and the December 2025 test at 90,554 miles, the car clocked 13,075 miles in twelve months, a modest uptick to around 10,900 miles per year. That is still well within normal annual usage for a diesel SUV of this age. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or reversals in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The 1.6-litre Blue HDi diesel engine and its associated emissions system, including the diesel particulate filter and EGR valve, deserve close scrutiny given the mileage. A car covering 13,000 miles in a single year may have done a mix of short and long trips, and incomplete DPF regeneration can lead to costly blockages not always visible in an MOT pass. The front and rear suspension, particularly the lower arms, drop links, and anti-roll bar bushes, should be checked for play or deterioration, as these components wear predictably beyond 90,000 miles even when no fault has yet triggered a test failure. The braking system, including disc condition and caliper operation, warrants a physical check given the cumulative thermal and mechanical stress at this mileage. Tyre condition and uneven wear patterns should be examined to confirm correct wheel alignment and suspension geometry. Structurally, the underside and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, as the MOT record does not substitute for a hands-on assessment of structural integrity. The clean paper record is encouraging, but it reflects only the condition on test day and cannot account for the six months that have elapsed since the last inspection on 12 December 2025.
