2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · LC12 ADZ

The 2012 Peugeot 3008 holds a valid roadworthy confirmation from the 24 November 2025 examination at 85,326 miles, with the tester recording zero defects. That test sits eight months before the current July 2026 date, giving reasonable assurance of recent compliance. This clean result, paired with the 11 December 2024 pass at 76,246 miles, signals a stable upkeep trajectory in the recent record. The tester issued a failure on 29 November 2024 at 122,628 miles with no defects noted; this aberration prevents an unqualified positive trend. Mileage progression against the 14-year lifespan shows irregularity. The 8 December 2022 test at 102,599 miles and the 2 December 2023 test at 111,320 miles reflect plausible annual use near 8,700 miles. The subsequent November 2024 entry leaps to 122,628 miles, then collapses to 76,246 miles twelve days later. Such a 46,000-mile reversal in under two weeks points to a data error or undeclared clocking. Sparse five-entry history limits deeper pattern analysis, yet the absence of advisories on tyres, wipers, or emissions suggests previous keepers presented the car in test-ready condition. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the DVSA ledger, so the buyer must target common 3008 wear zones in a physical inspection. Examine suspension bushes for perishing, front coil springs for fractures, and brake discs for lipping at the 85k mileage. Check underside chassis legs and subframe for corrosion, as Peugeot bodies of this era suffer structural rust if neglected. The anomalous high-mileage failure warrants a V5C and service book cross-check to confirm true odometer status before purchase.
