2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · LP11 MXG

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by an increasing frequency of failures and a growing list of advisory items. While the most recent test on 3 February 2025 at 136,439 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle carries significant advisory burdens. The record reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance, as seen in the January 2025 failure where multiple lighting, suspension, and tyre issues were identified just weeks before the successful retest. The accumulation of advisories regarding corroded rear coil springs, worn suspension arm bushes, and a deteriorating nearside front CV boot suggests that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the mechanical condition is deteriorating. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 102,778 miles in February 2018 to 136,439 miles in February 2025. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing cycle, which provides a reliable chronological view of the vehicle's history. However, the high frequency of failures in the most recent two years, specifically the January 2025 failure at 136,212 miles, indicates that the vehicle is entering a period of increased component fatigue. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with suspension arm bushes, which have been flagged almost every year since 2019. The presence of corroded rear coil springs and a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot requires immediate attention to prevent more costly failures. Furthermore, the recurring reports of oil leaks, which have been noted in various forms since at least 2020, suggest an ongoing engine sealant or gasket issue that warrants a close physical inspection for volume and location. Braking components and tyres also require scrutiny. The tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs alongside thin pads in the February 2025 test, following similar advisories in previous years. The history also shows a pattern of owners neglecting tyre maintenance, with multiple failures for tread depth and structural damage to sidewalls between 2018 and 2025. Finally, the presence of a damaged offside front seat belt buckle and inoperative lighting components in recent tests suggests that general interior and electrical upkeep has been inconsistent.
