2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · LL16 AOY

Consistent roadworthiness has defined the history of this vehicle, which successfully secured a clean pass on 12 May 2026. The MOT record shows a stable pattern of compliance, with no failures recorded throughout its testing life and only infrequent, minor advisories. The transition from occasional tyre and brake wear warnings in the early 2020s to a series of consecutive clean passes suggests that the vehicle has remained within standard operational tolerances, showing no evidence of chronic structural or mechanical deterioration during its ten-year lifespan. Accumulating 110,600 miles over a decade results in an average annual usage of approximately 11,000 miles, a figure that aligns with typical domestic expectations for a vehicle of this class. This consistent rate of mileage suggests the car has likely been utilised for regular commuting or longer-distance travel rather than short, stop-start urban cycles. Mechanically, this indicates that the engine, transmission, and cooling systems have been subjected to sustained operating temperatures, which generally promotes better longevity for internal components compared to vehicles that spend extended periods stationary or used exclusively for very short journeys. Despite the recent clean test results, the historical advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on both the front and rear axles warrant a focused inspection of the steering and suspension geometry. When conducting a test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel; any pulling to the left or right, or a lack of self-centring after a turn, may indicate that the tracking or camber settings require professional alignment. Furthermore, listen for any metallic knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed humps, as these symptoms often point to worn suspension bushes or drop links that may not have been severe enough to trigger a formal failure but are reaching the end of their service life. While the brake system has not been flagged for significant defects since 2021, the current mileage necessitates a physical check of the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or uneven friction material wear. During the test drive, apply the brakes firmly from moderate speed to check for any pedal pulsation or vibration, which would indicate warped discs or seized sliding pins. Additionally, ensure the electronic parking brake engages and releases smoothly without hesitation or warning lights, as the complex actuators on this model require consistent operation to remain free from binding or internal corrosion.
