2015 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Electric diesel · LS15 TGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 92,859 miles, it initially failed that same test due to mechanical defects. The tester flagged an offside front outer track rod end ball joint with excessive play and a defective nearside front headlamp. These failures indicate that components are only being addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. At 92,859 miles over eleven years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family-sized SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a 17,000-mile gap recorded between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 9,000 miles between late 2023 and 2024. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, though the age-related degradation of rubber and seals remains a factor despite the moderate mileage. A buyer must inspect the engine bay specifically for the persistent oil leak noted in the October 2025 test. Although the tester deemed it non-excessive, its presence on the record suggests a weeping gasket or seal that may require monitoring to prevent future failure. Given the failure of the track rod end, a thorough inspection of the entire front suspension, including ball joints, control arms, and links, is necessary to ensure no other play is developing. The windscreen damage noted in 2024 should also be checked for new cracks that may have spread over the subsequent 8,000 miles driven since that entry.
