2012 Peugeot 3008 Sport HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · MA61 FSP

A pattern of intermittent test failures defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, with three failures recorded across 2023 and 2024. While the most recent inspection on 2025-10-21 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the frequency of failed attempts prior to passing suggests a history of reactive rectification. This trend indicates that the vehicle has required corrective work to meet minimum safety standards in recent years. The recorded mileage of 108,559 miles over approximately 14 years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,754 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. A significant gap in the testing history exists between August 2019 and March 2022. Such a hiatus in official roadworthiness certification often corresponds with periods of inactivity, which can impact the condition of perishable rubber components and seals. The absence of detailed defect descriptions for the failures in 2023 and 2024 means the specific components that required rectification are not identified in the available data. This lack of transparency regarding previous failures necessitates a thorough manual inspection of the chassis and drivetrain. A buyer should verify the current state of the vehicle's structural integrity and ensure that no previous failure points have returned. On a test drive, focus on identifying any mechanical irregularities that may have been the cause of previous failures, such as steering instability or abnormal noises from the underbody. Check for any unevenness in brake pedal feel or steering drift. Since the most recent test on 2025-10-21 was a pass without advisories, these observations will help determine if the previous failures were isolated incidents or symptoms of ongoing wear.
