2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · LC60 OTK

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in August 2024 at 66,593 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend after a period of significant neglect in early February 2024. While the car failed with multiple defects related to lighting, suspension, and tyres, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects or advisories suggests that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical and safety failures. The vehicle appears stable as of the most recent recorded inspection. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,593 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,162 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, with 9,476 miles driven between February 2023 and August 2024. However, low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than wear from use. The history of perishing and cracking tyres noted in 2022 and 2023 indicates that the vehicle may sit for long periods, which can lead to dry seals and fluid ingress regardless of the distance traveled. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system. The record flagged light misting on rear shock absorbers in early 2024 and an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage in the same period. While these were cleared, the low-mileage nature of the car necessitates a check for further oil leaks or play in the ball joints. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in February 2024; verify that these were replaced rather than merely cleaned or resurfaced to ensure consistent braking performance. Attention must also be paid to the tyres, as the history shows a recurring issue with low tread depth and age-related damage or perishing. Given the low mileage and high age, the buyer should check for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting from stationary storage. The MOT record does not highlight structural corrosion, but a visual inspection of the underbody remains standard practice for a Peugeot of this age to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised by time.
