2014 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · LR14 OMH

The 2014 Peugeot 3008’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-27—just over a year ago—confirms it passed without any defects, though the record shows an unusual double entry at identical mileage (77,588 and 77,589) on the same date, suggesting either a test retake or a data duplication error. The vehicle’s maintenance history since 2022 demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance, with no advisories or recurring failures across five tests. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; the 12-year gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (56,450 to 58,776 miles) and the subsequent 11-month interval before the 2024 test (67,664 miles) indicate inconsistent servicing intervals, which could mask underlying issues. The recorded mileage of 77,589 miles over 12 years averages roughly 6,466 miles annually, a typical figure for this age. The largest jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 2,326 miles in just five months—a rate of nearly 4,652 miles per year. This suggests either intensive use or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests, neither of which bodes well for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper wear. The 2024 to 2025 interval, spanning 11 months with 9,925 miles, aligns more closely with standard usage but still falls short of the recommended 12,000-mile service interval for this model. Given the absence of MOT advisories or failures, the most critical areas for an in-person inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this mileage: the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade silently; the brake calipers and discs, particularly for binding or uneven wear; and the subframe and wheel arches for corrosion, as Peugeot 3008s are susceptible to rust in these areas. The double MOT entry at 77,588/77,589 miles warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history—if no repairs were logged between tests, the buyer should verify whether critical items like the exhaust emissions system or steering linkages were overlooked. Finally, the tyre tread depth should be checked against the 1.6mm legal limit, as failing twice on this metric in prior tests (if any) would imply basic upkeep was neglected.
