2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · L1 RWC

Recurring advisories regarding brake disc condition and tyre wear constitute the primary mechanical trend for this Peugeot 3008, with the most recent test on 10 August 2026 showing a pass but noting an offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. The documentation reveals a progressive pattern of brake-related advisories, specifically concerning pitted or scored discs on both the nearside and offside front and rear components throughout 2024 and 2025. This suggests a consistent requirement for attention to the braking system's consumable surfaces, even though no major failures were recorded for these items during the inspection periods. The vehicle has covered 58,537 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,659 miles. This is a low mileage profile for a vehicle of this age, which can imply less frequent mechanical movement. While lower mileage often results in less wear on high-use components, the MOT history shows specific issues like deteriorated CV boots and track rod end play in 2020 and 2023, which can sometimes occur when rubber components perish due to age and environmental exposure rather than high mileage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the steering and suspension components based on the historical advisories for track rod end ball joint play and drive shaft constant velocity boot deterioration. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or linkages. Additionally, check for any rhythmic clicking or popping noises when accelerating away from a standstill, as this is a common symptom of a failing CV joint, particularly following the recorded deterioration of the protective boots. The repeated advisories for pitted and scored brake discs necessitate a thorough inspection of the braking performance. On the road, feel for any pedal judder or pulsations through the brake pedal when applying pressure at moderate speeds, which may indicate uneven disc surfaces. Given the recent advisory regarding a tyre worn on the edge, it is also essential to inspect the wheel alignment; uneven tyre wear often points to incorrect camber or toe settings, which should be professionally rectified to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
